Unsurprisingly after two staggeringly successful Spitsbergen Expeditions we have had a barrage of bear images. We have created an online gallery of the runners up and picking a winner was virtually impossible, but there has to be one, so congratulations to Carol Barker for 'In his/her master's steps he trod': I was guiding on both of these expeditions but got nothing like this; beautiful diagonal lines sweep down the slope, composition is perfect with plenty of space in front of mother's nose and very nice light. But it is the stereo steps that provide the alchemy with both front left paws in perfect harmony. Bears on ice or snow are hard currency for any photographer or wilderness fan, literally hundreds of gigabytes of images were shot on these days, few got anywhere near this one, well done Carol.
