Will Nicholls's Image

A silhouetted pair of young bear cubs rear up and play-fight in the middle of a quiet road.

Bears are a fairly frequent sight in Jasper National Park, Canada.

But cubs are rarer, as mothers tend to keep them away from any threats.

It’s an enchanting moment, but also a risky one for the playful young cubs silhouetted against the glow of car headlights.

Framed by the darkness of the surrounding forest, the scene took on an almost theatrical feel for Will.

When the lights aligned, he knew it was the image he was after.
