When I first laid eyes upon this photo my first reaction was to think of how cute that this polar ear was with his paw outstretched at that angle, almost as if he was waving at the camera. The photo was taken in Svalbard Norway by a photographer named Colin Mackenzie. There are two main elements I noticed in this image one is the polar bear waving in a friendly manner, the other more subtle element is the landscape; if you look around you can clearly discern that the landscape is clearly eroding and being destroyed, this may be caused by us causing me to feel guilt for humanities role in the destruction of this animal's natural habitat. I like the subtle message that the photograph carries with it, I however do not like the different water coloring it feels like something is wrong. I like the photograph as a whole and I feel can be quite powerful when presented in the correct manner.
