Hi Harry.
Another stunning image of the polar bears you have captured. Amazing detail and exposure, right down to the snow clinging to their fur. Makes you feel you can just about brush it off. Love the behaviour, wonderful moment to capture.

Hi Harry,

masterful control of the exposure here and great timing too - the pose of these two is excellent and quite touching. I am envious of your experience of these magnificant creatures, to me they are now a symbol of the damage being done to the natural world and the looming threat of Climate Change.

Hi Harry, great shot of these two. Someday I'd like to get up there. Shooting in the snow like this, this shot is almost like a highkey shot. The bears look great, very sharp with great detail, and overall it's well composed and cropped.

Thanks, John

Beautiful shot Harry, I would love to have it on my wall or calendar. Perfectly focused and the exposure is excellent on the whites. A wonderful compositon of the two interacting with each other, they are beautiful creatures, I would love to visit that place. All is clear and sharp with good light. Great work.

Hello Harry,
very amazing that white on white could create such a spectacular image. I have some doubt about friendly conversation, male polar bears normally live alone. Maybe there was some nice "bearess" around...?

Hola Harry.- Como siempre. Una exelente fotografia. Los Osos Polares lucen bellamente aun cuando todo el entrono es blanco. Sin duda una toma muy dificil de lograr. La habilidad del fotografo es de muy alto nivel. Felicidades por tan bella foto, digna de un gran trofeo. Luis52.

Harry,
This may well be the most technically perfect photo I have seen on TN.
Exposure = stunningly perfect!
Focus = exact sharpness needed to bring out detail.
Composition = outstanding. Very balanced. Great faint blue background. The interaction between the two adds interest to the shot.
Congratulations!

This is an impressive picture Harry. Pose you captured on those superb animals is wonderful! You also had great control on exposure as we can clearly see all those different tones in the whites. Details are amazing.

They are fragile animals because of the lost of their natural habitat and, like most of people here, I have seen some hearth-breaking scenes of this poor animal, swimming to dead to reach ticker ice on the banquise... I can't think about it as it makes me so angry and sad...

Well done and TFS this unique picture.

Hi, me again.

I like a lot this one too. The poses are great. The frame is very clean and well balanced. The lighting really good. I just have feeling that the shot is a little bit oversharpened.
Overall, lovely post!

Thank you Harry,
for this nice scene and informative note, too. These two polar bears seem to be so happy! You surely were far away not to annoy them using your tele lens. Fuji Provia is a very good film. Very well done!
