    Wow, Sid, I love this one. The whites on the bear are well preserved and the falling snow takes it over the top. This would make a wonderful holiday card.

    This is a great image Sid. I like the BG & the detail. I also really like how the legs disappear into the snow giving the image a shamanistic & mystical quality. It appears as if this majestic beast is returning to the snow from whence it came.

    Hi Sid,
    Not much to say, but just sit back and admire. I am stunned how beautiful this image is.
    Thanks for sharing,
    Mark.

    As noted by others, the misted, foggy layer on the ground covering the feet gives this a special feel.

    This image really rocks, Sid. Love the dreamy feeling this one conveys. The snow is a huge plus and the gentleness conveyed of this powerful creature.
