    Polar bear

    I have seen no evidence of polar bears starving up here, as every bear we have seen looks fat and healthy.

    You have captured amazing details in this one, and it's nice to see the inclusion of the environment.

    What i like best here is the contrast of the bear against the rocks. It makes the image tick.

    Hard to even critique a Polar Bear photo. I am just envious you got to photograph them.
    The bear looks great, in a not to photographed habitat.

    Well exposed on the white fur, and stands out very well against the surrounding enviroment.

    Hi Charles , fascinating to see your Polar Bear images not in the usual snow and ice environment. Like the IQ and pose in this one as well as the contrast of the white fur against the rocks. TFS.

    Beautiful looking bear. Like the look on the face and the surrounding rocks.

    I like the look of the bear and the nearby rocks. I am not keen on the OOF rock in the FG or the reddish glow on the ones in the far BG.
