Wow! This is beautiful. What a magnificent animal and picture. Where was this exactly? How did you get so close?

Great shot. I’m more concerned and curious to know about the “attack”.
istvan

Su
Lovely shot and sublime colours, was the attack on the seals?

I imagine the ‘Jaws’ theme music to be playing. I love the colours of the sky and ice (and the polar bear).

Great shot, but I want the rest of the story!
Bjørn Anders Nymoen
Thanx folks!
The Attack-shot was taken in Svalbard. I was photographing ringed seals when this young polarbear showed up. He made an attack to tell me that I was on wrong territory. I accepted that. Yes, I did bring a gun but I never thought of using it. Respect is the keyword when working with such big animals.

Bjorn, fantastic shot. Nerves of steel or was he far off?
