Big Fella, you got up a might early. Was it worth the AC? Yes I thought so, congrats.

Like the way the ice ring frames the bear cub's face accentuating its dark eyes and end of its nose. Powerful, beautiful photo!

About johngomes
johngomes I retired as a police officer/crash rescue firefighter in April of 1990. I have enjoyed photography since the mid 70's and crossed over to the digital world in 1996. Along with being the volunteer photographer for the Alaska Zoo the main focus of my photography is to show Alaska as it passes in front of my lens on a day to day basis. While viewing my albums be sure to look for lnks to Britt Coon's Smug Mug albums. She is becoming a great photographer in her own right and it has been fun watching her develop her skills for the last couple of years that we have worked together. To view more of her work click here and visit her SmugMug album.
