Best in Show

On Thin Ice

I photographed this polar bear mother and yearling cub in Churchill, Man. They stayed around our vehicle long enough to observe the cub investigating and the mother teaching about the world. I love how the sheen of the silk mimics the ice. And I love the concentration of the cub on its reflection.
