I like them, especially the first two as it's less obvious they were taken of captive bears. You have good detail of its fur and the shadings of colour in the fur. #3 makes me smile, with the 'expression' on the bear's face, and the little bird peaking into the frame on the lower right corner.

but the baby buffalo was taking out side yellowstone. so cute.....

The bear center, or whatever they call it, makes me sad. So close to the freedom of the park, but the bears will probably die in captivity. Nice shots though.

 

[Devananda]

true it is nicer to photog. bears in the wild......
however these bears were saved when there mother abandoned them up in Alaska. so this center gave the bears second chance...and a change for someone to make $$ too..LOL
but I here you, I do not visit zoos very often makes me sad.

Cool. Don't like the frame on 4. The rest are good framwise.
