Evy,
First of all, congratulations on your Editor's Pick and of your POTD!
Second, it's amazing that this bear looks innocent and cuddly. He looks like he should be sitting on the bed of some child's room, not an apex predator!
Third, your composition, lighting, exposure in addition to the bear's pose make for an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G shot!
Cudos to you!!! #4649295
