This bear ran past and circled a group of photographers as he made his way to a roadside carcass of a mule dear. Panning with a running animal can be difficult to get a sharp image.
This photo was taken in Yellowstone on a early fall morning. The bison had laid down just for a moment and wallowed, creating some dust. The image reminds Steven of a painting by Robert Bateman entitled "The Chief" which is owned and on display at the National Wildlife Art Museum in Jackson, WY.
