EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the serene wilderness of Alaska's McNeil River, where the majestic brown bear roams free. This stunning photograph captures a moment of tranquility as our furry friend ambles through the lush sedge flats, surrounded by the vibrant greenery of summer. The camera lens focuses on the bear's gentle gait, its watchful gaze scanning the surroundings with quiet intensity.
As one of only a few photographers lucky enough to witness this spectacle, Ken Marsh has captured a rare glimpse into the daily life of these magnificent creatures. Each spring and early summer, brown bears gather in this area to feast on nutrient-rich sedges before the arrival of salmon runs. It's a time of abundance and plenty for these omnivores.
In this image, we're treated to a masterclass in patience and observation. The blurred background allows us to focus solely on our subject, while the selective focus highlights every detail from whiskers to fur texture. As we gaze upon this powerful creature in its natural habitat, we're reminded of our place within nature – humbled by its majesty and grateful for moments like these that remind us just how precious it is.
