This polar bear ended up passing very close to where we were all standing. This particular frame was captured when he was still at a manageable distance (for my lens and myself). You can see that massive left front paw. Photographed in upper Manitoba, Canada at Seal River on the Hudson Bay. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/500th of a second.
His giant paw was the first thing I noticed before I even read your description. Thank you Sean for all the wonderful photos you share; a great way to start my day.

Thanks Karen. Nice to hear. I was fascinated with those big mitts of the polar bears. The tracks in the snow were enormous.
Look at that paw. I mean, he could be a paw model.
Lovely, Sean! You have a way with bears I would say having seen many of your fine bruin images through the years!
Thanks Sue. They make such great subjects. Always up to something.
