    Loved my time with this beautiful species. I believe this was shot around 1AM.

    Absolutely stunning.

    The only thing I might do and I can't say that it's right since I wasn't there and have never seen one of these in person, is to lighten the blacks under the chin ever so slightly.

    Superb low angle, with good detail in the grays. The Barrow Tourist Authority must love you, Alan. Your shots are a strong enticement to go!

    That is the way to do it Alan.

    Great angle, exposure and a special moment of action recorded.

    Cracker.

    Cheers

    Alan what a fantastic capture this is!!!

    Love the low angle and color scheme on this one...It would have been even great to have the head slightly turned towards you...but that's not something which takes anything away from this excellent shot.

    Great sharp detail and IQ. Like the low angle and DOF. Subject is well exposed with good natural colours. Well done !
