Photographing this bear was a highlight of a Svalbard trip a couple of years ago. Taken off the boat, Nikon F100 and Provia 100F, 80-400VR at ~100mm, 1/100 at f8.

Wonderful shot Matt. I enjoy seeing the ice and general feel for the environment here. Looks like the PB is carefully observing something to the right.. Thanks for sharing..

I like the environment you have included and the fact that the bear is not obviously looking at you.

Very nice composition. Especially like the bear's reflection in the water.
