Correction. The reference to broken limb tip being removed was in reference to another photo I haven't uploaded yet. Sorry.

Hi Jim, interesting shot set in the rain :D
The rain and expression of the bear is good and you can't help but feel sorry for him. However, I feel that it's a tad over saturated based on the grass, if it's all toned down a little IMHO you would have a good shot. BTW, any portrait?
Cheers

As Steve has mentioned, the rain and the look of disdain on the bear, make for a finne image here Jim.
Apart from sat greens, have you thought to add some USM to just the rain itself to further enhance this lovely image.

Fine shot and expression Jim. Like the suggestions above. (Marc made a very good point re usm on the rain as it add imv). Nicely done.
Thanks for the comments regarding saturation and sharpening the rain drops. As to the latter, how do you do it?

lovely expression on bears face.... rain adds to overall feel...
I have to say the greens seem fine to me I quite like the different shades ..
with regard the usm on rain be very interest how one does it, and if it may end up over powering image ,, i quite like the subtle rain as is...
only thing that did grab my attention was that one stalk of grass on left of bear .. annoying but could be removed if you wanted too..
lovely image
