21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Victory after long hours of fishing fight

I've been shooting for hours and finally this brown bear grabbed a salmon in the little river. I continued shooting to follow the bear and capture this moment when the bear walked by the hill side of river bank. He (or she) seems to be very happy and I was very happy too.
