The Pointer

Photographed by Nick Dale

A male polar bear stands on the tundra, lifting his paw as if he's a pointer. He is backlit in the darkness, so you can only see his golden silhouette. Shot with a Nikon D850 and an 80-400mm lens at Arviat in Nunavut, Canada, in November 2021. ISO 80, 270mm, f/9, 1/3200, -4 EV
