Toddler in Awe of Polar Bear

Do you have a model release on file? 

Yes

When was the photo taken? 

September 16, 2009

Photo Description 

My son and I visited the Cincinnati Zoo, and saw this polar bear doing backflips in his enclosure. He would flip around, then spring up from the bottom of the pool right against the glass. My 2-year-old thought this was amazing and we did, too. The polar bear kept springing up right in front of us and my son would laugh and laugh.

Tips and Tricks 

  • I love the movement in the picture and the fact that my son and the bear are face to face, separated only by a thin piece of glass.
