    This is just brilliant Ken. Great pose and excellent timing. Water dripping from the bear takes it to the top. Hint of second bear is fantastic.
    Excellent image.

    Ken - I agree with Sid. Fantastic image. Good choice on pano crop.

    Nice one Ken. Agree with Rachel about the pano choice, it compliments the horizontal lines of the ice and water in between. Also like the water swoosh coming off the bear.

    Getting a compliment from Sid, the "King of Polar Bears" is really nice for me, not that the other comments are any less welcome

    The Pano crop was not just for compositional requirements the remaining parts of the image are rather dull and lifeless.

    What I actually really liked about this image was the "water parting" in the fur along mum's back.

  6. Thanks Sid Garige thanked for this post

    I agree, this looks to have been the prime moment for the water shedding off the one coming out of the water.

    Do you more as the water bound bear emerges Ken? If so please post in a new thread. I would like to see it combined with the out-of-water bear.

    I suggest a CW rotation.

    This is brilliant Ken. The wet dripping fur has great detail and I agree that the water parting on the back is a sweet touch.
