Hi Bill,
I like the sleepy capture,
A few issues that need to be addressed; The bear is over cooked, in terms of the whites being too hot; the envelope is ripped passed the 255 zone, and its over sharpened. I would crop from the bottom up to where the hairs on the lower cheek begin, in order to eliminate some of the negative space at the bottom...:cool:

Hi Bill Remember to check the histogram, there should be some pixels climbing on the right side of histogram.

Also as Gus mention its over sharpened. Do sharpen after the image is at its posting size, never sharpen/reduce in size. For sharpening also use one to one ratio, one pixel from camera to one pixel form the monitor.

Do like the lazy pose and relaxation !!!

Could you explain that one to one statement? I don't know what that means.
