Description

Our group of photographers and bear viewers found this fellow grazing in the fields of Lake Clark National Park, Alaska. He didn't appear to be concerned with our presence and seemed very content. For a brief moment, he looked up as a small aircraft flew by. His face had an angelic quality.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/500 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 500, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 550.00 mm, Model: NIKON D3
