    One more, Polar bear cub was desperately trying to catch up with Mum, in the slush of the pack ice. You need to get that slight curve of the front paw, you can also see the water droplets as the cub had been in the water, prior.

    I like this frame Steve, great sense of movement from the bear and the water in the FG helps tell the story.

    Great techs, superb IQ and wonderful detail. The blue ice in the top right corner makes it even more eye catching.
    Superb, thoughtful PP work - I call this Steve magic

    Hope you had a wonderful evening

    Warmest regards,

    Love it. I feel like I am there, watching it. I can feel the movement of the ice. Great pose on the bear, you can tell the cub is on a mission to get out of there. Well done Steve.
