It is best to have your subject close their eyes then you won't miss the catch light :wink:

Headed to Churchill later this week and I don't think I will see any of these guys there but have got reports of Snowy Owls in the area...and of course PBears.

This was taken this spring while wading in one of the ponds by the Science Centre. A slow approach allowed the RTP relax and let me take quite a few shots.

Lovely shot of an animal in peace.

Perhaps not the most attractive way of seeing an animal, but for me proof that wildlife photographers are doing their best not to disturb the subject.

Cool shot but I think with the light you had here you might still have gotten a catch light if the head were at the right angle. These are such beautiful birds.

Beautiful bird that is obviously not disturbed by your presence. Great colors and wonderful pose.

Love these birds but they are so hard to shoot sometimes. Never seen one resting before.
