Fox in the Vines

[denise ippolito]

I cloned in some extra vines and leaves then ran Topaz Simplify. I tried to twist and bend the vines a little and blurred some of them a bit. Revealed the Fox with a layer mask.

Denise, it looks like the fox has just stepped out from the leaves and vines, is about to go after lunch! This is one intense and detailed fox, lovely base photo! To my eye, the leaves on the RHS seem to mirror those on the left a bit too much. Maybe removing a few of the RHS leaves and the angled vines above the fox would strengthen the image - not sure.

Denise, Love how the fox is looking out of the vines. I like the details in its face. Nice effect on the leaves and vines. I'm not sure, but I might prefer it if the feet weren't cut off.

Hi Denise, wonderful image! Really like how you masked the fox back in after running simplify on it. Great work!

Super image...the soft vines really make the fox look recessed into the surrounding area. I also would prefer to see the entire feet but I love what's here - excellent work!

Wonderful image, Denise. Love the pose and the look. Nicely processed.

Denise, the fox is nicely framed, and I like the effect of the surrounding vines. Good 3D effect to this. Well done.
