It does look kind of funky on the chest.

Here is how I decide. Sharp on face as that is where I am focusing. If sharp, then do I have eye contact or good position of the face and head. Is the bear doing something interesting.

Stuart on my un-calibrated office monitor the bear's chest and a few other spots look like they're done in HDR. That being said, I don't have anything on brown bears so I would probably keep it. ;)

I have been admiring your bear images and have been so very impressed with them. That being said, from what I have seen you have so many images far superior to this one that I think I would delete it.

Stuart - I agree with Gen unless this bear or photo has some special significance to you.

TFS,
