Polarific

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 20 June 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

The only polar bear in Edinburgh Zoo, who was also feeling quite lazy, but very photogenic!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

This is a fabulous shot Dave, he looks quite contented there, shame he's on his own though,
I really hope I get to see one on my trip to Spitzbergen in August, if not I might just have to visit E. Zoo.
