I like #1. The others are great shots. You're a brave man getting that close to a mommy bear and her babies.

peace.

I actually like this one. If this was my shot I would be told to soften/blend the 'things' on the left and right side of the frame. They don't bother me, but some people are real 'purists' about stuff like this. For me... I like the 'stealth' feel of the shot. Catching a rare moment with this bar' family. The birdie silhouette is kewl, but I'm just attracted to the bar' shot.

The bear cup on his own really works for me. The one where they are climbing the tree is second...
Great shots

I like the cub practicing his mauling techniques on the tree. "His bite is worse than his bark!" :bad

Second one may work out even better if you could crop in a bit more. I know that seems like it will be too cramped but I think the shot would benefit from an "up close and personal" feel. I don't think the framing helps you right now so cropping it out should be OK. That said, this is a great capture!
