A striking close-up portrait of a Kodiak Bear with a surprised expression, captured in 32k photo-realistic high-definition. The bear's expressive features, including its wide-open eyes, expressive mouth, and wrinkled snout, create an imbued representation of emotion. The black, shaggy fur creates a striking contrast with the blurred, green foliage background, which promotes the animal's natural habitat. The dramatic contrasts of this image make for a breathtaking shot in the classical style of wildlife photography. Captured by Paul Nicklen, the Emmy-winning photographer has a unique connection to the natural world, and his mesmerizing works are designed to change the way we look at it.
