19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Tidal Flats

This was shot in Lake Clark National Park in Alaska. We spent the whole week photographing brown bears. Our best encounters came from this particular mom and cub who were quite tolerant of us. Beautiful light and a amazing sky! What more could a photographer ask for!
