All very unique poses. Great series. It is something that behind these playful and comical poses is a powerful and potentially dangerous animal. I love the claws in all the images... I can understand someone letting their guard down while consumed by the playfulness...
 
Wonderful shots Dan. One better than the next.
Thanks so much.
Excellent series!
Thanks for commenting.
Gorgeous shots, gorgeous animals!
Thanks. They can be really beautiful.
Lovely series Dan.
Thanks.
Hilarious! And every shot crisp and clean with so much detail. In no shot does the viewer need to ask what am I supposed to see in this image. Hmm. Okay, have you trained these ferocious Alaskan bears to pose for your great camera skills? :unsure: :ROFLMAO: If so, I give you high marks for training skills and bravery in addition to high marks for your photography. Beautifully well done.
Thanks so much. Wildlife photography is 90 percent showing up and 10 percent operating the equipment. The critters do the rest.
Wow you really managed to bring the personalities onto the screen! Beautiful
Glad you enjoyed them.
 
Excellent series of photos! You captured the moments exceptionally well! I love the comments and the story that they tell.
Glad you enjoyed the post.
That is a great collection!
Thanks for commenting, Andrew.
Fantastic series Absolutely Fantastic ! ! .. I love how they are all ever so slightly different, just like humans out on a picnic for the day .. It must be such an exhilarating experience to be able to observe and photograph these Bears right in their own back yard each and every one with their own personalities ..

As mentioned above , the photographs are of great quality - gin clear with excellent detail 👏 👏

would you care to share the Camera (s) & Lens (s) used for this series ? Thank you for sharing these
Glad you enjoyed the shots, Harry. This set was from multiple shoots and multiple Nikon camera/lens combos.
Amazing shots, I’d give my right arm just to be able to see them let alone be able to photograph them…
Thanks. They are fun to watch.
I don't know whether to say fabulously outstanding pictures or outstanding fabulous pictures. The commentary was great also. It's original and quality posts like this that keep me viewing this site. I truly enjoy it!!!
Thanks for you kind comments and glad you enjoyed the post.
As Tony the Tiger would say, GGGRRRRAET! shots
Thanks.
Beautiful creatures! Amazing shots! But, how can something be so cute and cuddly one minute and tear you to shreds the next??
They interesting critters. Yes there is a very real danger in personifying animals.
Bears are awesome creatures ! Outstanding photographs - captured distinct personalities... Thank You
Thanks for your kind comments.

Yes particularly when there are cubs involved it's easy to get drawn in by the cute, playful behavior. Things can get dicey with cubs. They will sometimes approach quite close to the point that you have to shoo them away. And even though the mom has allowed them to approach you she may react defensively if the cub verbalizes alarm when you do so.
 
Sometimes they just are.
