I downloaded your photo and opened it up in Photoshop CC . I used the camera shake tool first to help some in the out of focus . I then used the burn tool set at Shadow 14% and painted over the fox. I then used the dodge tool set at 19% and a brush size of 1 1/2 " to remove the darkness on the outer edges . I had to go over the corners 2 or 3 times to remove all the darkness to where it looked closer to the rest . Although it is not perfect , it did make it look sharper in detail . I had the two photos opened at the same time so I could compare them with the final results . It can make a more presentable photo to your family and friends at least . This is something you can try if you have a program that does what I did ...Tommy

I like it. When you get the opportunity take the shot. If the fox won't cooperate so be it.&#128077;&#128077;

Would love to see your results. I liked the original but it did need some work so if you could post yours and click on store original it would be nice. Thanks....Rich

Shooting thru a window makes it look soft..


Yes, I know shooting through the window is not optimal. It was my only choice though. If I had tried to go outside s/he would have run off and I would have gotten no picture. At least I have this documentation!

Thanks for commenting.

Thank you Tommy. I will play with it and attempt to follow what you did. I do have Photoshop CC but am just learning my way around it. Thanks again!

Liked the photo, you did a nice job .. I made a few more light touch ups of the light levels and also did a High Pass filter to sharpen it up some.

This is what I did using Topaz DeNoise and Detail. Trying to keep the color of the fox close to your original....Rich

Thanks Rich. I like what you did. I have been thinking about some of the Topaz products. I like what you were able to accomplish with DeNoise.

First, I love the picture. You asked for Critique.
When I download it I can see that there is camera movement, a very shallow depth of field and while the white background is complimentary to the image it lacks any detail. A little detail in the white areas would help.
It's good stuff.
Keep shooting.
