I like it a lot (though purple is my least favorite color and I am wanting to push it to blues, knowing that is just my bias), and I'm jealous of what you're figuring out how to do. Building these kinds of fantasy images is one of my several goals. Though I'm headed in a somewhat different direction, the skills needed are exactly the same. Mr. Fox is quite wonderful, and his shadow. The sand, the fence with the broken slat - wonderful.

One question and one suggestion:
The prints are great, but how did he get from them into this position without any other marks? (I don't have an answer, willing to concede magic)

For me, the moon is too big and too elongated. I don't mind it being un-naturally large, that is part of the fantasy, but it seems to overpower. Also, as moons set they become squashed rather than stretched, so if I applied any distortion it would be to elongate the horizontal rather than the vertical.

Great work, please keep sharing these. I may get brave enough to join you after I practice a bit more. You are way ahead of me. Selection tools can drive me to drink.

Thanks, I'm glad you like my work.

Regarding your Photoshop/art YouTube has some great tutorials to help bring your creativity to the next level. this first link is for Glyn Dewis who is really great, explains things in a simple manner and is also a photographer. This is his link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9eJ0QMxVANECYICsnM1yzA Blue Lightning is also a really great online tutorial resource which deals strictly with Photoshop. Here's their link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDfJlseFwUx2X0h3m5PRILA

Both of these will help you expand your creativity. Best of luck.

Yes, that's the link. It takes some time navigating to where it sits. Adobe makes it difficult to find to discourage those who reject the idea of being digital serfs.

Phaseone, who produces Capture One Pro, offers an outright license purchase OR a subscription, depending on the user's preference.

This is a Danish company so their approach takes their user base into consideration rather than dictating the terms most favorable for themselves as Adobe does. Capture One has a learning curve, but it also has the most versatile RAW processor on the planet. I use both programs, and have processed the same file in Lightroom AND in Capture One. The difference is visible without magnification.

I still prefer Lightroom's interface, but that is likely due more to familiarity than utility.
