Wildflower Bear

It is easy to visualize North America’s second largest predator as being strong and aggressive. However, the setting of this meadow scene filled with wildflowers in British Columbia portray a gentler side to its character. The softness of the white flowers combined with the calm and curious pose of the animal lend both he scene and the animal a sense of gentle relaxation. Though shooting at 120mm, I used a shallow DOF in order to soften the details of the background forest which help isolate the bear’s location out in the meadow.
