Polar Love

This was the best day of our Artic trip, we were so lucky to spend hours with this polar bear mum and cubs (there were actually two cubs but the other is out of shot). This cub was around seven months old and full of joy!
I really like the tender love the cub shows for its mum.

(Spitzbergen – Scandinavian Arctic)

Hi Steve,
I reviewed a few of your photos. This “Polar Love” is my favorite even though the composition on “Polar Bear” is better. This pic shows love, fine details, DOF, action in the background, great brightness & contrast.
Take care, Bonnie
