Ya so what you can try to do is shoot from his angle, meaning from the left, and focus on the 2 bears behind while blurring the front one out, or vice versa. Of course that means you need to play on aperture settings, using a wider aperture but seeing as how light is coming from that side, that problem might already be solved for you.
See how it goes lah, but do show us the other angles when you can ok?
