Description From out of the shadows, the white death stalks. One of the Polar Bears at the Oregon Zoo pauses at the edge of the shadows, nicely lit by the early morning sunlight.

This picture is amazing. The clarity, focus, detail of this picture is just phenomenal. Once again, I know that place is not easy to photography. So you get props for that. ;D

The sunlight and shadows really add a lot of feeling and emotion to this picture. You really get a chance to see and feel the majestic quality this amazing animal has. The presence he makes is stunning. It's also very soft. And the bear's expression almost looks sad. Or thoughtful maybe. The gentle way the shadow has touched it's face really gives us this feeling of sadness that flows out of the picture.

At the same time the sunlight on his back really adds to the incredible beauty it has. The sunlight bouncing off it's pure white fur echoes the power this animal has.

Gorgeous picture. ^^

Thank you Lily. That softness of the light playing on him was what prompted me to get this shot. To me it screamed mystery and gave me a primal feeling...like I was being allowed to watch something special, secret yet as old as time.

I'm so glad you are moved by these images.

LoneWolfPhotography In reply to 1001G [2009-05-18 04:34:37 +0000 UTC]

Don't worry Edie...I'm so far behind too...I'm starting to get used to the fact it's just always going to be that way. I just keep plugging away some every day.

Thank you for your compliments. Seems a bit more interesting when they're not looking right at you...like they didn't know you were there.

I've noticed I'm a whole lot more selective now about what I upload than I used to be. So many great images that many of mine no longer look "good enough".

1001G In reply to LoneWolfPhotography [2009-05-18 20:33:09 +0000 UTC]

BINGO.......exactly how I feel and thats good..... When I do my cards ( i do them in increments of 100)and when I go to do more I look at the old ones and no longer like them even though a few months back those were my BEST..

LoneWolfPhotography In reply to 1001G [2009-05-19 05:25:37 +0000 UTC]

That means you're improving really quickly! I think we have to thank DA for that. All the access to such great photography is kind of like running a race against someone you know will beat you. You still don't win, but from trying to you end up breaking your own personal best time.

1001G In reply to LoneWolfPhotography [2009-05-19 13:28:18 +0000 UTC]

oh yes I do thank all the people on DA for improving my skills......but buying a new camera I found out does not do it..

LoneWolfPhotography In reply to 1001G [2009-05-20 06:09:28 +0000 UTC]

Nope....the world's greatest camera in the hands of a novice still won't capture great images...that takes skills and experience such as yours.
