Re: Polar Bears
Thanks for the additional comments, folks. Sorry I only posted low rez images while the light box was down.
Indeed the light when I took that image was near perfect. We had low, golden sun with dark clouds on the horizon in the BG. The bear was walking down the beach and I asked the guide to position the boat across from that log. I waited for that shot as the bear walked down the beach. "OK, now step on the log, step on the log like a good bear...." I was afraid that it doesn't look real. Looks nearly like a studio shot or a composite.

Re: Polar Bears
Thanks, ladies. Glad you liked them.
They do look like they are smiling. They should be a bunch of happy bears. Plenty to eat during a time of year that most are hungry. Originally Posted by IzzieK

Re: Polar Bears
I forgot to say the why's of my favourites so I edited my comment to add on why. The 2nd image is stunning and looks like a beautiful environmental portrait.
#6 is my absolute favourite for the moment captured combined with the falling snow makes for a magical image, and a type of bear image I've never seen.#7 is also extra precious to me for the playful moment.
All are inspiring images...

Re: Polar Bears
Glad you guys enjoyed the little glimpse of creation. I just operate the equipment and am glad I can share what I'm privileged to see from time to time.
Christina, thanks for the detailed comments.
