Here's another image of the same bear in my last post. This time the capture was a little more challenging. The sun had just come out from behind a cloud, while in the last post the sun was partially blocked.
I took some of the helpful tips I got from you guys (previous post) and applied them to this image. I also double processed the RAW and manually blended. I toned down the highlights in one and brought up the shadows in the other. The catchlights were once again too bright so I burned those a bit. I also took Vincent's advice and tried to color balance the greenish cast (but not too much).
25% crop.

I think you have a diamond in the rough here. I think some of TK's luminosity masking techniques might treat you right here. Just a thought!
Cool Shot!
