Ken,
I enjoyed your story. :-) I seriously dont believe it when I see the nice photos you post in this forum.
Did you take this in Jpeg? I would reduce the colour temp a bit. It is still there, but increasingly being challenged by other males. Its area is shrinking.
Sweet image Ken Fully agree on reducing the temp, it can over expose when the histogram looks normal !!! Might also take a little off the right side !!
The image was taken in RAW, judging by the file size. I am glad to here he is still alive he must be getting quite old now, but it is also good news that there are younger males coming through. I am sure he sored some wonderful cubs.
I agree that the saturation seems to much, and it probably needs a better crop.
