This photograph shows a powerful male grizzly bear in the Yukon, photographed in the wild and with deep respect for the animals. The image conveys the raw strength and presence of the bear while highlighting the fragile balance between human observation and wildlife in its natural habitat. The grizzly never took his eyes off me, and so I was under his supervision.
