Neat shot. Care to share the details (actual distance between you and the critter, who took the photo, etc.)?

Interesting shot. But two questions, where's the '17mm shot hand held shot', and who snapped this one if you're snapping the hand held?
Interesting expression on the bears face :)

I hope that your shooting closer to 300mm than 70 ;o) Great shot! -BJ
