Me too,

The ice has not melted as much thisyear! Let's hope for a contunuance of "global cooling".

great timing Ken. lovely exposure - can imagine it's a challenge with all those whites around?

[Grace Scalzo]

Absolutely beautiful, Ken. I love the position of the bears.

[Tell Dickinson]

Really good exposure, like the comp and glad you got the separation between the two where you did :)

Double what has already been said - the bears' interaction is great, the water and ice are great, and the exposure shows all the details in the fur and snow.

A beauty.

[Ken Watkins]

Thanks to everybody for your comments. I also love the positioning.

[Marc Mol]

Great comp, exposure and story Ken.

Great shot. I like the pose of the bear on the right. Great details in the whites as well.
