Salmon Snack

A shot from Saturday's Grizzly Bear tour. We found some very hungry and aggressive sea lions on our way home. The sea lion whipped the salmon this way and that. It was incredible to see.

Wow! Great timing and focus! It's always a challenge to take photos when you're rocking on a boat that's moving away from the subject you're focusing on (I'm assuming you were on a boat).

[Debs Stott]

Fabulous gory details! Fav

[Graeme Stevens]

[Taffy]

[Corinne]

great catch ! we can see the "splash" of blood....

[Vera]

Wow, there is everything in this picture - the animals, the fight, the action, the blood, the water splashes! I have to second @annied - looking at all of this it's very tempting to pack up and move.

[Denise Wood]

Great capture :) it would be so hard to capture this!

[Maggiemae]

Your camera speed must have been so good plus the focus where you expected it to emerge! A brilliant photo! fav

[Janienja]

If you didn't say that was a bear, I would have thought it a hippo (Seeing as that is what we have this side of the world). How far were you from it?

[Denise (lyndemc)]

@janienzoo I'm bad at judging distance but I'd say 75 feet. I cropped this a bit.

Great to catch all that water spray from the fish thrashing!

[Susan Klassen]

Fabulous shot - that's fresh!

[Ukandie!]

Great shot, it really does convey the aggression of the catch especially with the blood mixed in with the spray of the water.
