The dark patch at the bottom is just a bit distracting, maybe try brightening and blurring more if possible? It is not quite mush and not quite sharp... but that is an excellent fox and the stare draws you in!
Hi Christopher, very nice fox in good light. i too find the OOF rock in the FG a bit distracting. Not sure if you could wait for the fox to be in a little more open and a bit further away from the OOF rock both in front and behind. Loi
Hi Chris , this looks great compared to your previous fox image.
I like the overall comp , colors, tones and contrast.I really like the look back of the fox.
Agree with Gabriela about 3 dimensional look of the image.
Regarding the OOF FG rock, i actually do not find it that distracting , but think lightning would help to make it less dominant.I would try to achieve the same luminance as get rock on LHS .
Hi Chris - the processing including color and sharpness looks much better on this image. Well done. Good points and suggestions above for dealing with the oof rock at the bottom.
Thankyou for looking and comment's,Neil thanks for your suggestion about the dark rock,Loi,was not possible to get fox more in the open,got a few images,then the foxturned left and vanished in to the rocks.thanks again for looking.
Nice pose and vibrant colours here, Christopher.
I actually like the framing of the rocks (lovely setting) and in this case would have liked a tad more of the FG rock included (even though it's OOF) to enhance that "Framed" look.
