The last picture
Das letzte Bild ?

Ursus maritimus , captive
Polar Bear
Eisbär

Tiergarten Nürnberg, Franconia, Germany, Europe
07/2007

The picture name came into my mind just before I had chosen it for the "Picture of the Month" section - after the polar bear baby "Flocke" was brought into public in the Tiergarten Nuremberg. Would there ever be a chance to take polar bear photos unhurriedly ? Of course the picture style is my "in art" way of alteration ...

EOS30D, EF 100-400/4.5-5.6 L IS USM @ 400mm, 1/400 F7.1, ISO100; RAW
