I was actually shooting a mountain when I looked behind and saw the elk crossing the river. So I had the 24-70 II with CPL on my camera and only make a few minor adjustments and then started shooting.

I didn't take the time to adjust the CPL and am concerned that is part of the reason the colors just seem a bit off.
Have you ever tried using luminosity masks? I think it might bring up the shadows and help with any highlights. I would love to give it a shot and see what I can come up with. I would screen shot the PS file if you wanted. I enjoy messing with stuff like this. Beautiful photo by the way!
