Photography allows us to catch moments in nature that we would probably never see in our everyday life, giving it remarkable power. In this photo, we are watching a still shot of a polar bear leaping between ice patches. The photo gives a very good sense of time by catching the bear right as it's about to go airborne, and it causes one to play out the rest of the jump in ones head. And it's not every day you see a polar bear jumping on ice, so this photo adds some perspective on what polar bears do, which I think is pretty successful in making this a photo of its own.
