[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Deosai Plains make up one of the last frontiers of natural habitat for the Himalayan Brown Bear, a creature that once roamed the mountains freely. The Deosai National Park was established in 1993 to secure the survival of the bear and its habitat. Having long been a prize kill for poachers and hunters, the bear, Pakistan's largest omnivore, now has a hope for survival in Deosai where its number has increased from just 19 in 1993 to 40 in 2005.

The Deosai Plains are also home to the Himalayan Ibex, Red Fox, Golden Marmot, Wolf, the Ladakh Urial, the Snow Leopard, and over 124 resident and migratory birds. Birds in the park include the Golden Eagle, Lammergeier, Griffon Vulture, Laggar Falcon, Peregrine Falcon, Kestrel, Indian Sparrowhawk and Snowcock.

Hello, Zahoor -
Great nature capture; the bear itself is remarkable, but you have captured it in this field of bright colorful flowers. I'm sure you did not want to get any closer than the 400 mm full extension of your lens would permit. You might have considered offsetting the subject a bit from the exact center, but it is a matter of little consequence, and the image overall is fantastic. Well done.

Wonderful composition and mix of colours with accurate exposure. Nice Work!

cheers,
