Thanks, Macua1 and Larita. I will be making prints available soon.
Maybe a little bit sad but a truly magical photo - well done.
That is so beautiful and sad at the same time. Thank you for sharing it!
This is a beautiful spotting that shows the peacefulness and regal look of the polar bear. I spend much of my time discussing the importance of the polar bear as a keystone species during our Green Week at the University (I am a college professor). They are majestic creatures who are losing their ice.
