Too good. Love the interaction and the diagonal line of the rope leading to the polar bear's face. Nicely composed.
What is the rope from?
I can't wait for book to come out

Another terrific photo Sid, you are killing us.
Your exposure on these is really nice, it has to be kind of difficult in the "white" conditions.
The bears really pop, very impressive.

Sid,
As an image I like it, but as a human I find it somewhat disturbing.
The fact that there is human waste in what should be pristine wilderness everywhere is actually horrible, it was the same in Svalbard

Hey Sid,
Another beauty my friend. I am off for 3 weeks with P bears as of the 21st.
Metering made simple, thanks for the mention.
Whenever I hear someone say great job on the difficult whtes.... I know they do not comprehend how it all works.
See you again,
Chas
Nice image Sid!
I echo Ken's sentiments. Sad to see that our wastes are everywhere. In earlier days, we used to drink water from the streams after filtering it through a handkerchief. These days, I find all kinds of plastics, clothes, undergarments, bottles and other unmentionables in the streams. If we pollute our water sources, don't know what will be our future.
I too find the polar bear images of Chas very nice as well as his control over exposure. I remember last year (?) there were some good polar bear images from Ken and Steve Kaluski as well.
Cheers,

Terrific image!!!![]()
Sid, maybe this guy is practicing good dental hygiene, I believe he is flossing.On a serious note, it is sad that there is too much debris washing up on all our shores. This image has wonderful detail and eye contact. Excellent as always!
Another terrific image Sid your productivity from this trip is amazing.

Great image. I like it a lot. I like the snow on the cub's fur, the raised paw, the bit of snow in the rope loop—truly wonderful.

Excellent exposure through out the image Sid, and love the overall detail on the polar bear. Comp works well too.
Super angle and details here...sad that it's playing with a man-made object, but I can see this doing well in a "hand-of-man" or "influence-of-man" category in a big competition![]()
Hi Sid,
I like the low POV, the detail and the composition. The rope!!! is BAD!!!!!! and is an indictment on our society that we live in. Mankind is getting so far removed from his roots and that will no doubt lead to his downfall. A very evocative image and hence outstanding.
Well done again Sid and thanks for sharing with us.

Sid - great detail, eye contact and pov. Love the slight lean and the raised paw. Too bad about the rope but it does add interest to the image.I'm really enjoying this year's series of polar bear images.
TFS,
Rachel
another great shot....Look forward to all your wonderful images each time i visit this site.
"spot metering off the snow plus 2 for Canon".....The process is etched in my brain now......Just finished my first STL workshop with Chas.......great teacher and he made it simple........your work inspires me to use the techniques which you clearly are executing well.....Now I need to go find some snow and white bears....wherever did you say you found them?
