In the Forest

Photograph Description
I took this photograph of a young black bear (Ursus americanus) in a forested area near Orr, Minnesota in the spring. The very low camera angle conveys a sense of confidence in the young bear, while its facial expression suggests a sense of curiosity and caution. The lush spring vegetation all around the bear and the two large tree trunks in the background give the subject a strong sense of place.
