If there were a "Daily Post Contest" here on UHH, this image would most definitely be in the Top 10 of posted images for the month!

Hmmmm..... maybe a New Category is in order! Complete with Truth Only statements to show what someone really feels about the image. None of these Composition junk, Lighting, or Color rules (they only hurt other people's pride/feelings, and we don't want that!!).
You must state only your FEELINGS about the image. Sad, Happy, Sorrow, etc.

Curmudgeon, this image makes me: Giggle (and I say that, sadly.... maybe a bit.... Happy...I'm... sorry)

..... Whooohoo!!

Don't be sorry. I did everything I knew how to do to make that the worst image I have ever posted. Over and under exposed, ridiculous saturation, blur to simulate out of focus and every other thing I could think of. I even posted it in the wrong section to see if I could get a reaction to that. They don't call me the Curmudgeonly Old Iconoclast for nothing

The fox needs more motion blur.
Maybe Topaz Sharpen needs an update to provide for negative values of sharpening based on subject motion.

I looked at this shot and said to myself, “what the f&$k” was Jack thinking. Then I read your comment yorkiebyte and it all made sense.
Other than that you really did an excellent job.🤣

So I'm taking you at your word (in your signature): Feel free to modify my posts in any was as long as you tell me what and how you did it.

Added some motion blur to the fox.
Loaded the image into Photoshop and made it a layer.
Selected the fox and created a mask on a new layer.
Converted to a smart object (not necessarily necessary)
Used Filter => Blur => Motion Blur

Done.
Took about 3 minutes.
Sorry, the PSD is too large for UHH so I can't attach it.

Thanks for looking and commenting. The fox was supposed to be a coyote made with Generative Fill. Then I moved it a little bit so the Generative Fill background didn't match.

Thanks Frank. I was afraid my sarcasm would go over many heads.

Looks to me more like a fox than any of the coyotes I've come across. The foxes are lean, while the coyotes are chunkier, more like a German Shepherd. But there are different varieties.

Outstanding! Superb story-telling and imagery. The wolf is clearly Paul (CHG_Canon) - clear-eyed, sharp, focused, and ready to maul anyone not mirrorless. The out-of focus figure represents the UHH membership that champions adherence to DSLRs, SOOC, and JPEGs and love of posters that flood the forum with links to nowhere and Sony pictures of red stone canyons. The figure is armed but static. The advantage is clearly on the wolf's side. The outcome is inevitable.....unless AI comes to the rescue.

Exquisite technical execution. The wolf and the figure float in a landscape never envisioned by Admin. User ID should find something to like in this image.....
