Nice shot. I think you should play with your levels and bring out some blacks... it will make the bear pop out more...

Nice image, the larger image seems to have abit of noise in it. I would also suggest increasing contrast, it is almost a monochromatic image. Thanks for sharing.

Jack, I like the tight framing, which in this case works very well combined with your low angle. The fact that the bear seems to be relaxed and not at all paying attention to you makes this a very pleasing to look at portrait, one that almost seems to tell something about the character of this bear.
The repost does look better, but the larger version does show some noise indeed, which seems to have an effect on the sharpness.

Nice tight crop and I really like the expressive eyes.
