    what a tender moment! which species of fox is this, Gen?
    I would lower overall brightness but it looks like you overcooked some of the whites so I'm not sure that can be recovered totally...

    Oh, and I wish the tree wasn't there - since you can't do anything about that, how about cropping from the LHS to just get that patch of BG on the upper left removed (ie have the entire LHS framed by the tree bark)...

    Hi Gen, a tender yes, but it certainly has the 'cute' factor 100%.

    There is good detail and tonal range, especially in the darker areas ie the paws, so I would be selective in trying to reduce the highlight areas and try to retrieve some of the detail & tone. Likewise, perhaps being selective and drop some of the saturation in the BKG. I don't mind the tree, all I would suggest is to crop a fraction off the LHS so you have a hard edge to trim to.

    Gen - definitely a cute and tender moment. Good suggestions for trying to take the image to next level. Did you take this on LI?

    TFS,
