Polar Bear, Seal River, Manitoba, Canada

A month ago I posted a horizontal from this particular morning. That shot was taken

about 10 minutes after I took this one. I was forced to shoot only verticals at first

because I was at 300mm and wanted to get both the sun and bear into the

composition. I had a second camera but the mirror had frozen in the up position in the -

27F degree weather. Eventually I switched lenses, but I liked the sun in this position

best, before it cleared the clouds. Thanks for any comments.

Amazing shot and amazing landscape and sun with the mist off the water.  Just absolutely beautiful.

Great picture.. 

Excellent capture of the mood !!

The streaming of the sun through the clouds has been brought out very well.
