I've posted this image before but as it is my favorite from the Churchill trip I can't resist posting it again.
Canon D30, 500mm, beanbag on window mount.
Full frame.

I remember this post. I remember you taking this. I remember this bear. Maybe I was there! Very nice image. I think the willows in the foreground and background add to this image.

Very nice shot! Great light, and perfect exposure. The small bit of brush does enhance the image IMHO.

Oh wow, this is gorgeous!
The look he's giving really has character, and the light is great.
Great job on the exposure. I even like the foreground twigs.
Nicely done!

Exposure, light, catchlight are all wonderful. And the centered composition works well here.

Another cool shot of the Churchill Polar Bears. I like the composition here. There is a very slight blue cast.
