It seems to add just the right amount of 'pop' to the image. Has anyone else been using this?
Not exactly but almost. I have a default preset for new photos imported into LR, and one of the settings in that preset is that it sets camera calibration to "Camera Standard" rather than "Adobe Standard". LR's "Camera Standard" doesn't really look like Canon's "Standard" setting, but still I believe it gives a much better starting point than "Adobe Standard".

By the way, great shot of the bear in its natural environment. The autumn colors themselves would have made a nice shot, and when a bear is added like this it becomes great.
