    Marvelous expression on that one. I see just a slight magenta/blue cast in the fur and I think you have a little room to bring the density down without losing detail in the shadows.

    I like the pose and setting here, Ross. I fully agree with Jim that there's a blue/cyan and magenta cast on the bear. Easy to fix though.
    I also think the entire image is a tad bright?

    In this repost I toned down overall brights through a luminosity mask.
    I also burned the BG highlights some more.
    I removed the colour cast in the bear's coat.
    I burned the shadows of the bear's coat a bit, and dodged midtones on its face.

    What do you think?
