beautiful capture

I’m favouriting this, as it’s a lovely shot. I do have reservations about polar bears in captivity however. Although the way their natural habitat is melting, perhaps captivity is their only chance of survival

Very nice shot. I wouldn't want to see this without a big barrier of some sort between the bear and me.

@jgpittenger @yorkshirekiwi Thank you for comments! You're right: Zoos are not without controversy. This polar bear will never feel arctic ice under its paws. The compound is relatively large and this female bear gave birth to a cub in the zoo this year, who cares it carefully. Perhaps you could say that this polar bear lives in a golden cage. It can never be a substitute for the natural habitat that needs to be protected.

such strength and power conveyed - I love how the pov you chose reveals that high arched back, the whole of his underbelly and has him looking right down at us - as if through his nose. great work.

@domenicododaro I often forget the time when editing a photo. An hour is nothing when I'm in the flow.
