Hehe! I dare not do that with a sloth bear!

I used f/4 because I was shooting this handheld, the bear was walking in pretty fast and light was also low as it was a cloudy (and later rainy) August day. I could've boosted the ISO but felt a little greedy and had portraits in mind

I hate that branch in the background, spoils the bokeh completely... but then one can't do much about that.

Will post a copy of the original compo.

Cheers,
Aditya
