Wonderful scene and lighting! Looks like a child's fantasy.

Hi Michael, thanks for the comments. No, not related to advertising at all, I work in IT.
Just wanted to do something different. Originally I thought of setting up the scene so that it would look like the bear was ice skating (hence the white floor), but the required pose was beyond what the bear could do, so this was a plan "B" setup. Luckily my daughter has 00's of soft toys so had plenty to choose from for the "audience".
