I have feelings of freedom from this picture. The picture shows alot of action. To catch the water motionless is great.

Great photo. I understand it was taken with a very simple digital camera. Talk about being in the right place at the right time and with a camera!

Love the fight for food captureds by the photo. Diana

Reminds me of how I'd enjoy many a similar sight from 25/30 feet in the air while I was hanging from a spar tree. This photo took me back. Thank you.

I love this picture! Actually.... there is not a single picture that Al Vinjamur took that I don't like! He is a very talented photographer.

Incredible...the intensity ,and focus of the bear are so real,and the splashing water sprays so gentle..what a contrast..ft

it shows the ferocious nature for survival. one must have courage and guts to take such photos. congrats. Sridhara, Bangalore 29/04/08 10.20 am

This Photo exemplifies the Bear's urgengy for the next Meal and the Salmon's rush for its own Life. At best,this is the " Circle of Life...in Motion!!"

An imaginative photography

Is that a bear run!

Great photo.

Terrific photo.

Totally enjoy all of Al's pictures. He is an amazing photographer and should definitely be recognized for this work. Don't know of anyone better.

Fantastic shot Al! All elements of photography are captured at their best in this picture. Cheers, Divya Iyengar

Excellent photography.

It is a great photograph full of nature's natural instinct and survival. Way to go Al. Did not know we had such a good photographer visiting our site.

This picture is simply captivating. Colours of the green grass, the blue of the water and the intensity of the brown bear after his meal. Well done.

Great photo that has captured a quick moment with such vivid clarity.

Good job Al. It is a Beautiful picture and will surely be recognized.

All of Al's photos are spectacular. The intensity of the bear and the salmon evoke such passion as they play out the age old game of prey v predator. Al, my sincerest congratulations.

Wish I should have been an bear to run in a water in Hot south Texas summer....

A great action shot.

Wow! What a great photograph. I am only thirteen and still have a lot to learn about photography (which is my hobby, and which I hope one day will be my job), but I am really inspired by this shot. I can only marvel at how well this moment of action was captured. Well done, Al, and congratulations on capturing such a powerful image!
