This image was the result of patience, persistence, and careful planning. I spent a long time quietly observing this grizzly, waiting for the perfect moment. My goal was to capture a natural yawn—an expressive and fleeting gesture that reveals the bear’s raw presence in its environment. I positioned myself so that the bear’s own shadow would create a dark, natural backdrop, adding depth and contrast to the composition. When he finally lifted his head and yawned, everything aligned—and I captured the moment I had envisioned.
