This trip has been a highlight of my career, exceeding every expectation.
I will be riding this high for quite sometime.

Another beauty, I like the fact that there is not a complete snow blanket which adds more interest to the surroundings. I am wondering what it would look like with the sky cropped out.
Super shot, like the pose of the bear, with his nose to the wind, and also the background creating depth. Wonderful colours in the image. Great work.
cheers

Chas - beautiful animalscape. The colors are great and so is the bear's pose. Glad it has been such a successful trip. I am enjoying all of your shots.
Looks and sounds like a dream location - well presented on all acounts through your recent images, Chas. You know I like'em wide and this is great. Would be interesting to see a version with the sky cropped out as Ken pointed out...
Hi Charles , like the pose of the bear and the sense of space created in the image. Nicely captured and gives one a great feel for the polar environment.
