After the swim

Polar bear - after the swim - Photo made in *Diergaarde Blijdorp zoo*, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. 2009. I was trying out for the first time my then very first telelens. No idea about settings, no idea about anything. But I saw the bear taking a bath, and anticipated that he would shake his fur when coming out of the water. And just when this happened, the sun came through the clouds, making the spray of little droplest pop... Admitted, it took a good portion of luck, but I was delighted of the result!
