This one is a favorite of mine from the recent alaska trip

Clamming brown bears and a kittywake.

I really like the mood of this image. The bears and their reflections stand out nicely against the fog.

Let's see....white bears, white bird and near white out conditions. This is neat, I can see why it's a favorite. I think you could crop this from the right and maybe a bit from the top so that the bears and bird balance.

This is great Anand... love the feel to the image. I wonder if the gull is not there if the mood is more preferable to some? Great as is!

Beautiful piece of work Anand, and the bird really is the key in this frame. Well composed, a small frame balancing required, but thats personal. Well done

This is a beautiful moody photo Anand. This is one I'd love hanging on my wall.
If this were mine, I'd try removing the gull as i think it might improve the image.
Very strong "as is"

Very nice image, I like the gull and the bears, as well as the misty/fog setting. Thanks for sharing.

Terrific frame, very nicely captured !!!
I have no problems with gull in the frame, but would have preferred it slightly on the left side.

I love the mood of this shot and great catch with the seagull flying through the scene.

I can see why it's one of your favourites! The flying bird adds a touch of 'class' to the ghostly bears! Wonderful composition!

Someone said "magical mood", it works for me..The gull pulls it all together nicely.
Great artistic flair, well done Anand!

Cool shot Anand....really captures the mood that prevails so often along that part of the Alaska coastline.
