This is unquestionably my single favorite photograph of 2014; it's one that I'd been trying to get for a long time. While driving through Glacier National Park in Montana, USA, I saw several cars stopped by the side of the road. A grizzly bear was grazing on vegetation, just 50m or so from the road! I was ready to run quickly back to my car should the bear decide to charge, but fortunately it was content to just stay there, grazing (and glancing at the curious humans).

(June 8, 2014. Nikon D5000, 1/50s @ f/7.1, 300mm, ISO 220.)
