Gotta give a five for the creative shot! Wow, sneaky little bugger! The image looks a tad out of focus but not bad, doesn't take away from the over all shot. Great capture! Good luck in the contest!

A very beautiful picture of the Bear raiding your Sunflower Seed-hearts feeder licking out every single seed with it 's tongue. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.

Now I've seen it all, a black bear standing on a squirrel guard eating sunflower seeds from a bird feeder. That is one industrious bear. Thank you for sharing this amazing capture and the best of luck in the contest.

This is a 1 in a million shot and a very good entry into this contest. It is however a pity that the bear and the sun were not quite at an angle where we could see this beautiful animal a little better but completely unavoidable. Focus, texture, clarity and composition are all excellent. Well done and thanks for sharing :-)

Yeah but if you had brought in your feeders you wouldn't have captured this wonderful sight!!!
What a fantastic opportunity, I'm lucky if I see a squirrel in my back yard, let alone a young bear!
Very, very good luck in the contest!

Wild animals are living works of art that remind us of the importance of preserving their habitats. But I wouldn't like a wild bear in my backyard!:) It's a great-looking capture. Good timing. Good luck!

I think the shot of the bear is awesome but I'm glad he's not in my backyard! Looks like nothing is going to stop him from getting those seeds! You were a brave soul to go out and get this shot. Your focus and lighting are spot on! Very cool shot of an animal in your backyard. Very cool for the contest! Good Luck! :o) Helvi
