 Day 18 - At the zoo again. I have many shots that are better for this day, but I think for this side I prefer the snapshots that never see the light of day. Two of those kids are the niece & nephew of my daughters boyfriend. They were so excited to see the polar bear swimming.

Ha! Love how the ladie's body ended up just under the bear's head. I also like how the bear seems to be watching the people just as the people are watching the bear. Is that you we can see taking the picture?

I like the expression on the bear's face and the people reflecting in its belly!

It took me a few moments to see the reflections int he glass. I saw the woman reflected on the bear's belly first. Kind of interesting. A super great day for the kids!

I love the color of the water and the pastel shirts of the kids. I think I see you in the bears shoulder.

That's a good experience for them. Too bad about the reflections on the glass.

Wonderful exposure and moment captured, Kelli. Which are the "significant" kids?

Love it! We have a similar setup at the Denver Zoo, but I'm never in position when the children and the polar bears are face-to-face. Superb job of exposure and timing.
