This young bear stayed close to our lodge at Silver Salmon Creek in Lake Clark National Park, Alaska. He was recently out on his own and likely felt a bit more secure sticking close to us humans. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/100th of a second.
Or maybe he was hoping you would mentor him, and teach him to be a wildlife photographer. Man that would be a hell of a feel good story, a crane training a bear.
So adorable! Im afraid if I saw a cute bear like this I would want to hug him and not be afraid of him. You capture such delightful looks on their faces!
What a sweet, sweet photo! Those claws are a reminder to not trust the plaintive, endearing look. Very nice symmetry in this photo, too, with the lichen covered tree trunk in one corner, soft green background in the opposite, and our star charmingly in the center. Perfect.
