2025 The Artist Gallery Awards International Wildlife Photo Contest 3rd Place

This is an annual contest. The action and detail in the water and bear are the reasons I chose to enter this photo. The intensity in the bear's face and sheer determination in his forward motion create a great moment to capture and share..

An Alaskan Coastal Brown Bear plows through the water as it chases a salmon in Silver Salmon Creek in Alaska's Lake Clark National Park.
