A menacing brown bear salmon fishing in Katmai National Park, Alaska. 

We were foraging in the Little Kue Creek looking for brown bears and found one in the creek fishing for salmon.  This particular bear tried to catch the salmon with his teeth by dunking his head into the creek, usually, at least while we were watching, coming up without any salmon.  I made this image while the bear struck a very fleeting, menacing, pose while he was shaking off water from his head.
