I found this capture very interesting. It's become one of my favorites.

Re: Sleeping Giant

Wonderful symmetry Bob, you could rotate it 90 degrees and tight crop it and hang it up - people will assume it is a digital reflection until they start to notice the nuances

Great job

The story behind the photo:

I normally don't enter the polar bear habitat. It's moist, damp and uses plexiglas viewing windows. In this shot I managed to work my way around all that. The bear was asleep. There were no other people in the room. I could take my time picking a clean spot through the viewing window and set everything up. I had the luxury of time.

Great job
To me one of the best nuances is the steam rising off the bear's body. There is no reflection of this in the water. The perfectly still water made for a perfect reflection shot. I was thrilled even before I got it home to process the photo.
