I guess I'm a bit skeptical of all photo's on the net these days,but the bear seems to be back lit and the little clumps of dirt under his raised paw look to be casting a shadow in the opposite direction. I'm no photographer, so I m probably wrong,but it is a good looking bear anyway.

Still scary as I go camping in the (now radioactive) wilderness here a lot and there are often bears moving around my campsite.
