Hi Scott
This is a great action shot. LOTS of water flying!! You managed to to this without blurring. Super! The spray seems to frame his head. Nice work

Hi Scott,
Yes, water everywhere! Before reading your notes I can't understand what kind of bg it was. As the bear head is so motionless I do not "see" the spin!
Good shot with very details, color, composition and ...spin!

Hi Scott!

Perfect moment and timing! Every water droplet perfectly frozen in time. Great portrait of this dangerous bear.

BTW - I hate when dogs act like this bear i.e. on the beach :-)

Hi Scott,
Excellent shot, he actually looks like he's enjoying himself too. I find Polar Bears very hard to see in zoos, they always seem to portray their emotions more than other animals. Anyway back to the subject :-) A great shot, perfect capture of the water drops everywhere around and great detail and textures on the Bear. Great work.
Cheers,
Adrian

Hi Scott
Until I read your note, it wasn't clear what I was seeing. This is very well done and the exposure is perfect for seeing the many white tones in the fur while freezing the water drops. It appears the bear is effectively beating the heat. Regards.
