Artist's Comments

Title: Olinka
Species: Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus)
Location: Vienna Zoo (Tiergarten Schönbrunn), Austria
Lens: Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM
Filter: Hoya Pro1 Digital UV

I like the large aperture of 2.8 because it gives you the opportunity to play with the depth of field. In this case the head of Olinka is sharp and her body is already slightly blurred.

She's about 16 years old and the mother of the cubs Arktos and Nanuq. In 2010 all three of them will go to other zoos so the Vienna Zoo can build a brand new enclosure for Polar Bears.

I rather weep eternally, than join your mindless optimism, I rather die now, than ever be a part of your sick world

Thank you.

I hope that it will be possible somehow to save them in the wild.
