This already bloody male came in to steal the seal killed by the sub-adult. A total of nine bears came in within 30 minutes of the bear hauling out the seal. Bears have a remakable sense of smell, and the polar bear is at the top of the list.

This image is raw and cold and bloody! I love it!! Very cool how the water is coming off the hind foot.

Excellent capture Chas. Superb exposure and composition.!!!! Fine work.

Excellent image, Chas. Like the comp, exposure, and the dripping rear foot-but the blood stained coat takes it to the top. Very nice!

Techs are spot on (as usual :D). For my taste I think a little off the top and add that amount to the bottom.
