Nanuq, Polar Bear @ The Buffalo Zoo
One of my favourite photos from the Buffalo Zoo yesterday... I love it! Nanuq is such an interesting bear, he's quite old, over twenty years! He has such a unique looking face.
I'd been waiting to get a shot like this, a polar bear looking full on at the camera... it was my lucky day! :D

This is a very simple portrait of a polar bear but I think that because it is so simple it really stands out from the other pictures of polar bears.

First off the bear's expression is so sad and almost longing which sets the mood of the photo. The pose with his head ever so slightly lifted gives it the idea he is sniffing the air or perhaps begging like a puppy?

I love that the head is all you can see in the picture. I think it gives a great and close up detailed image that would have been lost with more bear.

Overall it is a wonderful photograph!
