I love this photograph. I don't know enough to suggest "how" :-), but it would have been nice if you could have made the bears stand out a bit more. Especially the little one on the right. The rock above him with the water running over it makes him "blend in".
nice thought and image, i like the background shot very dramatic and nicely editted in, doesnt shout story at me and the sepie tone is not really to my taste in this.
