Hi Sid - great low pov and nice light. The central placement works for me here. Excellent icy environment. Another great PB image.

TFS,

Brrrrr, gives me the shivers just looking at it. Seems to have the same relaxed look that a person would have in a hot tub. Agree with Rachel on the central comp. The alternating ice and shades of blue add a nice depth to the image.

Hi Sid

This image portrays "intense cold" to me.. while the bear sees to be saying "not bothered..". I very much like the composition and the moment captured here.. I don't understand how they can live in this sort of stuff..

well done

Agree with the above comments, plus you have a hint of catchlight in the eye which tops it off nicely Sid.

[Morkel Erasmus]

Very nice Sid. Perhaps a tad more sharpening on the bear's face, and some dodging of the blacks on the snout for more detail needed?

[Steve Kaluski]

Hi Sid, love the colour palette on this one. The low POV works, but agree on Morkel's suggestions.

Hello Sid,

Sorry to comment so late, this is truly wonderful and taken in such beautiful light - love the colours and presentation; I agree with Morkel on a tad more sharpening if possible.
Looking forward to more images of these amazing bears, if you have.

Kind regards,
