Wish there was more reflection too, but getting closer didn't seem prudent. Shot today...

Wise decision; great shot!

Hi Dave,
Welcome to the forum - and an excellent share. He looks like he was a 'big boy.' By some chance, did you get any others with the bear's reflection in the water?
James
PS Edit - never mind, I just re-read your post about the reflection. I agree, BTW, about the level of prudence. :P

Welcome Dave,
Wonderful shot. How far away were you? Besides MUCH closer than I would be! lol!
Thank you Jim, Durwood, James and Penny for the nice comments and warm welcome to your forum.
He was a fairly big fellow James and very much aware of me, and I didn't want to push "his" territory.
Penny, this crop was about a fourth of the frame, and I'm shooting a FF D700 Nikon w/300mm f2.8 VR lens, so I'd guess he was approx. 150' away.
I also want to mention that I need to edit my preferences for email notifications, I didn't receive any, sorry for the delay.
