Great habitat composition Rachel, may benefit with some selective lightening around the eyes.
Perhaps also a touch more USM, although it could be the uncal monitor I'm viewing it on atm?
Rachel, he is a handsome bear and I love the surrounding water. Agree on trying to lighten the eyes if possible and a bit more USM. He is a wonderful colour, love it.
Re post looks better Rachel With deep seated eyes like this one is good to add a catch light for making them look livelier Pose wise I keep wanting to shift the bear right a bit more to have more room on the left !!!
