LR
- Change the WB profile to Adobe standard, I think you have it on the default 'pants' setting - Adobe colour.
Overall I like the comp with the Elk to the right looking into space, but perhaps a tad more space below. Overall its too dark, but that is perhaps down to the Profile and LR's stupid behind the scenes adding additional crap content, Contrast & black, so always go easy. There is a Blue cast, again an easy fixe, but achievable with a better WB. The strong light and wet fur has created a rather unfortunate HL on the neck, if not blown, it might, to a degree be reduced, perhaps? I do like the rich darks, especially the mud clad rack. 1/500 OK you were on a tripod, but please don't tell me you had it on 12fps? :w3 I might darken the BKG.
How far you take the blacks is personal, but this is just removing LR's excessive editions.
