Cute, but the bright light from above is overpowering the subject, IMHO.

I'd agree with Paul, the bear in the Y of the tree is really cool but the bright patch overwhelms it somewhat.

Dan, Great subject and a nice pose. Did you do something to tone down the bright spots? Looks a bit unnatural and as others said overpowering.

Regards,
Bill

The bear looks good but the BG is distracting and unnatural looking.

It looks like you were shooting up and into the light Dan, not easy with a dark subject like this. There is a fair amoung of grain too on my monitor.
