Bear Crossing

A surprise encounter as I was ambling along the banks of the Swift River in the evening.
The sun had just set behind me and its glow was fading from the water.
The bear emerged from the woods and began to cross, pausing a few times for a drink.
In the low light I at least managed to grab a usable shot at 1/60s.

Timing is everything and you had it to capture this cool photo. The Swift River doesn't look too deep...

Wonderful! Love the position of the bear and the trail he is leaving in the water. Terrific colors and reflections too.

A lucky encounter. You must have been ambling very quietly.
