I liked this guy’s face. Almost as if a darker colored black bear was growing out of the body of a lighter colored black bear. Quite a nice nose on him too. Photographed in northern Minnesota. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 310mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/320th of a second.
As long as bears know where you are and you’re non-threatening, they remain fairly relaxed. Plus, this was at a place where they research the bears, but also leave food out for them so although wild, they are habituated to people.

Kinda looks like that Bruin may have been researching you, Sean!
This bear looks like an incomplete photoshop job
Or he has one of those Maurice Sendak jumpsuit/hoodies on.
Looks like the markings of a mask he may have worn too long! He’s delightfully different than the average bear!
Well put Laura. I concur.
Love this face. So cool!
Sort of a presidential spray tan?
Ha. I can definitely see that.
