To me it's not bored, think too see by its attitude that it realizes that it's portrait is made by a very good photographer. Isn't it, Jimbob? LOL!

Well done mate!

Regards, Cornelius.

It's so calm and timid. At first I thought it was a dog. Very good close up, Jim, so sharp and beautiful, I can see every hair of this noble animal.

In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art. ~Rumi~

He looks a bit grumpy as if just awakened - did you poke the bear, Jim? Nice detail and I like the full color black and white -

Jimbob - I like the details and great light control - difficult with white fur and bright sun light. The black background works so well with the polar bear's coloring. Well done! Thad

Nice. On the image, and it's promotion. Agree wholeheartedly about the highlight control. Also a very regal and striking animal portrait. You've come quite a ways. Kudos.
