Paul - I have learned to use Restyle to give certain elements (like a wall) of a photo a look I want, then I mask out everything else. I end up with a multilayer PS photo, with a lot of masks.

I didn't realize restyle had that capability. I have the whole suite but rarely use much of it since I'm not having much luck with it. Pretty good work. Paul

Re lower tree trunk -
I left it for two reasons -
1 - if I simply crop it out, I end up with a panoramic like shot. I did crop some of it already.
2 - It gives a horizontal line so that the branch they are walking up looks tilted. Without it, I think you would want the photo "straightened.

What am I missing?

I think you need to get rid of the lower tree trunk.

That white cloud is actually steam. It comes from a vent hole as the zoo is trying to give an accurate picture as to the environment the grizzly bears come from along the northern Russian pacific coast.

Ha, ha, ha. Keep letting your imagination run wild. I find that white cloud is distracting. Maybe replace it with a giant bird of prey?
