Great shot in attractive arctic habitat, Bob. Love the eye contact and raised paw. It appears you had a successful trip. Well done.

I love this one Bob! One of the best Polar Bear images I've seen in a while. Well worth a click to see the uncompressed view.

Great composition, implied movement with the bear's raised paw, nice head turn and alert expression as it checks you out, and beautiful detail and colour in the ice and snow setting. A winner for me. Fantastic!

Gorgeous shot- love the deep blues in the ice for a background as well as the elegant beauty of the bear.
