I am learning some new editing software. Particularly interested in comments on post processing but all comments/critiques are welcome and appreciated.

I think it’s well done. Does look a bit yellowish to me. which software are you trying?
I call it a spectacular photograph.
That's a nice shot. Processing looks great.
I agree it does have a yellow tone. Shot late in the day and in Canada so the sun angle was relatively low. Leaves were already changing so most of the yellow is surrounding leaves reflecting off of the water surface. The water was actually a green shade. I could tone down the yellow a little to get a look more like most viewers would expect. Thanks for the comment. It was processed through DxO PureRaw before moving into Lightroom.
Great - love it!

Excellent photograph, to me the processing is just fine.
Strong composition and excellent processing.....IMHO! Love the sharpness in the head/eyes! Especially the catch light.

Great shot! Only issue is the bright spots of water near the bear's head.

I really don't see anything wrong with the image. I immediately thought of the yellow water as being from reflections of fall color and never worried about it. It's spectacular just as it is.
Thank you all. I appreciate the comments.
Great shot, no notes. Just print and hang it

I think this looks great! The yellow color to the water is a nice touch in my opinion that helps tell the story.

Great shot. I don't think the yellows are "off the charts". Between the sun being low and the natural fall colors I could be happy and they are not a problem.
Very nice. I'd put it on my wall. Thanks for posting.
