Hi Harry
Great compo. I really like the fact that the Polar Bear are not white, not even whitish but yellow and that the snow and ice being blue. So what could have been a white animal in a white scenery is here, due to your photograhic skills, a great colour scene!

Hi Harry.
Wow, awesome. Love the composition, the left looking back into the image at what the other two are doing is great. Detail, pin sharp, exposure and colour, all spot on.
The programe I saw on the Polar Bears after lunching on a seal was not at clean as these ones.
What a wonderful image to have in your collection.

Hallo Harry,
Grootse opname van deze ijsberen. Vooral het contrast tussen de gelige beren en het blauwige ijs maakt de opname bijzonder. Persoonlijk vind ik de foto nog mooier zonder de rechter ijsbeer er op. (Heb ik even uitgeprobeerd)
Groeten,
Peter

Hi Harry

This is yet another stunning capture from you! 3 in 1...wow!
The details on all of them are really sharp and clear.
The light is simply beautiful here and very well managed by you, giving the scene such a nice balanced look.
The colors are also lovely and [amazingly :))] they are the ones that isolate the bears well from the environment, while the composition and the panorama-like format are great!

Bravo and TFS
Horia

PS: i've heared that tundra buggies are a lot of fun :))

Hi Harry,

How wonderful to capture three of these bears in one frame! Each one in his own pose is just lovely with good details. The colors are marvelous - I would expect it to be all white but the yellow tone of the bears and blue tone of the ice is fascinating.

Hi Harry,
Lucky you to be there to get this photo.
Magic clean light, unknown in the UK, low sun giving the long shadows.
Slight over exposure has burnt out some of the white fur.
Still a nice photo.
Well done,
Regards,
Peter

Hi Harry,

Fantastic exposure showing both details in the polar bear and the terrain, a shot I'm very envious of. Hopefully one day I'll get the chance to photograph these white predators of the north. :)

Hi Harry,
Superb!!!!!! I like very much this image it's fantastic, a trio with good pose of all of them. Colors and format are excellents,exposure as well.
I've read an artcle in this month National Geografic in spanish that global warming could cause the polar bear extintion in a century, a really bad stroy.

Hi Harry

Another great outdoors (natural) shot from you. I love the sight of this foraging trio as it made for a beautiful composition showing a polar bear in 3 different poses simultaneously. Great stuff.

The colour rendition on the shot is great and so are the very sharp details. The low lying sun provided excellent light and the reflection of the snow highlighted the shady side of the bear on the right to give ample contrast and definition. The well exposed bears stand out nicely against the surrounding bluish snow.

Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

PS. Bears (all kinds) are one of my favourite animals because of their grace and power and probably because we do not have any here in Africa.

Excellent portrait of the white bears.
From the thin bodies, I would think they have just awoken from their hibernation period and are a bit groggy while foraging for something to eat.
