your polar bears shots are probably your best series, more so because of the rarity of these moments, and the effort that went into getting these. voted.

Hi Eric...

Such touching photographs. Aside from the technical excellence in capturing and processing these photographs, the frozen moments of love that you snapped say so much about all the inhabitants of the world we all share. One can only hope that photographs such as these might someday make a difference.

Thanks
Tom

These are worthy of a full article in NG!

Images captured in the natural setting convey a lot more than just photography (not equivalent to a polar bear image from a zoo!). There was another thread on FM about captive vs wild.

Thank you everyone. As I have said before, this was the singular most wonderful day I’ve spent in the wild. I was touched beyond anything I had ever experienced photographing wildlife . And am most appreciative of the support I have gotten from all here at FM.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate and a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Such kind words

It helps to have subject matter that oozes all the qualities one needs in a photo. And then hope you don’t screw it up.
Have a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Not sure what else can be said regarding your polar bear images. These and the others you've shared are easily the most enjoyable photographs I've seen posted here to date. And that's saying an awful lot when you consider the spectacular work by so many others we see here every day. The combination of subject matter, poses, light, IQ, background, and tenderness really hits home for me.
Makes me wonder, how many different hard drives do you have these backed up on ?

I am quite touched by your most wonderful words. I was quite fortunate to be in the right place at the right time and am really happy that my images hit home with you the way they did.
I am quite redundant with my images keeping them on multiple hard drives as well as cloud storage on a photo storage site.
