Great habitat composition Rachel, may benefit with some selective lightening around the eyes.
Perhaps also a touch more USM, although it could be the uncal monitor I'm viewing it on atm?

Rachel, he is a handsome bear and I love the surrounding water. Agree on trying to lighten the eyes if possible and a bit more USM. He is a wonderful colour, love it.

Loverly bear. I agree that some more light on the eyes and sharpness would be better. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Thanks for the comments. Here's a repost with another round of USM on the head and some selective lightening of the eyes.

Thanks again,
Rachel

Re post looks better Rachel With deep seated eyes like this one is good to add a catch light for making them look livelier Pose wise I keep wanting to shift the bear right a bit more to have more room on the left !!!
