Welcome to NPN. I really like this. Catching him in mid-step was great. The reflection is a bonus. Excellent shot.

Hi Randy,
Welcome to both NPN and Weekly Challenge. Your image is a fine addition to this week's challenge of Reflections.
The exposure appears to be right on; I really like seeing the face of the Polar Bear in the ice.
Composition is good.
Again, welcome; I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work. I hope you become a regular contributor to WC as well as other forums.

Oh my goodness! This is fabulous! A most excellent composition in its simplicity, yet so finely detailed with attention going of course to the bear, but also to its specialized habitat so in danger. So glad you shared this. It's very impressive!
