When I was away on work recently I managed to capture this Rock Wallaby

The more I go back to this photo the more I like it form a photographic point but its lacking polish in post I’ve been tinkering about for some time (CS5) and need a little guidance, I'm after a much more natural & finished looking image.

I want him to pop more and the colors to be more natural as I would like to print this soon at the lab I’m having trouble with his coat he has dark and light shades getting him to pop is proving difficult.

Lots of tinkering with softlight layers & curves have not quite yielded me the results I'm after

Any help would be really truly appreciated if you’re willing to have a go you can find a medium resolution PSD here
