Polar Bear Reflection by Paul Nicklen
This one have caught my eye for a long time, I think it is a beautiful photo that shows a fragile side of this magnificent animal. The polar bears eyes are following you and that is something that is important in wildlife photography, miss the eyes and miss the shot. The ice on top left ads to the photo to I think, the curve is the same on the ice as on the reflected polar bears back. The simple color palett is also something that enhances the moment I think.
This is what Paul him self said about the making of this picture:
"This picture of the polar bear diving underneath the ice and the water reflection. I had first drawn on a piece of paper ten years beforehand.
And I have been trying for ten years, every year going up to the Arctic trying to get that one shot of that bear diving underneath the water like that, and get a nice underwater picture to show people a look of a bear that they haven't seen before."

Paul Nicklen uses his camera to reweal what global warming is doing to the ice and what impact this has on the wildlife.
