Great Photo Chris!!! Let me guess, you were observing this animal trying to pick up some pointers on improving your own swim stroke, but instead, picked up your camera and got this great shot???

Can you tell us anything about this?
How big was your lens? How far was the bear from you?
How did you (do you) keep yourself safe??
A REALLY wonderful shot Chris. A Show-Stopped!!

WOW just doesn't seem to do it justice. POWERFUL IMPACT! At first, I was so amazed by the capture, composition, details and sharpness that we all look for but then the more you study it, that natural instinct of RUN comes over you as the photographer so skillfully captured all the elements that depict the force, power and the danger of the charge.

That I took, NOT one of my favorite bear shot's of all time...When I re-read that it sounded rude and arrogant and I'm not like that...

No I wasn't attacked. I was in the water with Waders and was down low to get down to his level, he was actually chasing a salmon up the shallow water in the River.... Glad you like it :)

This photograph has captured my imagination, and I’m thinking your caption should read “I lived to tell about it,” LOL.
This is quite incredible, the look on his face and the power in his body is something else. This is quite an amazing photograph, something totally to be proud of and a once-in-a-lifetime shot. Congratulations
