    Default The inquisitive Polar bear...

    This young Polar bear came up to our tiny ship full of curiosity and was very inquisitive, probably based on his size, he may never have come across the sounds of smells????

    Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.

    The sounds of smells..... who was that? Did the bear get a little too close for comfort?

    Super shot you get the most amazing detail out of those whites.

    A very good evening to you Steve,

    What strikes me first is the size of those paws ( enormous!) in comparison with the head of the young Polar Bear. Frame is well exposed, love the eye contact and walking pose. Image design is great, beautiful detail on the subject

    Awesome sighting and I enjoyed viewing. I am sure you miss photographing the Polar Bears in their habitat and sincerely hope you see them again soon.

    Warmest regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Steve ... cool head on approach by the bear and the lifted paw is giving a cool context of movement . The nose / jaw area looks tilted .... like he was sniffing
    As usual a very high quality output from you ... at least for me it does play a big role in the complete picture of a public presentation , some folks might overlook that ..... me not .
    I am enjoying technical perfection a lot , as you know .

    Nice one and TFS Andreas
