Jack,
Always nice to have a raised foot to indicate motion, on my monitor this looks like it needs just a tad more sharpening. I might also consider cropping to remove the bulk of the snow in the bottom right hand corner.
I hope you do not mind but I have attempted a re-post with my suggested crop, I have also applied a "linear contrast" layer in PS.

Hi Jack,
I like the uplifted paw on this one - adds a nice bit of dynamism. I like the soft texture in the fur as well. Compositionally one is always limited when the subject fills so much of the frame, but if this were mine I'd probably crop a LITTLE from the right side, or, add just a tad to the left side of the frame (either way this would functionally shift the subject to the right). But a solid capture of a very majestic animal.
Cheers...
Brad
PS: Thanks!

Excellent. I prefer the slight bottom crop for an even stronger presentation. I love the soft color and textural effect of the fur.
