As a wildlife photographer, if you're at all like me, I'm simply thrilled any time I have a bear in my viewfinder. I expect many of you (if you've had the opportunity) feel the same way. Of course, you don't just want to put weak images on the memory card but rather, ones that are compositionally compelling and that you'd be happy to share. There might be an infinite number of bear shots (running, fishing, fighting, etc) more "photographically worthwhile" but I realized how rare it was to see an image of a bear with all its claws visible. Therefore, in the spirit of this challenge, let's see your bear shots (of any species) in which all 20 claws are visible. From Katmai, Alaska. D500, 600mm, f4, 1/200, ISO 140

I have many Grizzly pics. This is the only one I could find that you can see all four paws and claws. Lol

I know, it’s funny how difficult it is to actually get all the individual claws in a shot and I don’t think it would ever be an objective when shooting them. I have quite a few Grizzly pics too but only one other with all claws visible and one more that would be borderline.
