This Fox in Yellowstone was playing with it's prey. For whatever reason none of the shots in the sequence were tack sharp. Still I liked this image enough to try and play with it. OnOne Glow preset in LR and "defocusing" layer for the surrounding grass
to try and create a dreamy feel.

A lively pose -- I like the glow effect on the fur.

Nice work -I think the glow is effective. The black feet really show up well, emphasizing the action. Blurring the grass helps too. I can see why you'd want to save this nice shot. I wonder if you might want to brighten up the fox's front/face/eyes just a touch in keeping with the overall high key look here. Not a big deal, just a little tweak maybe.

Great sense of motion and intensity in the eyes. I would have tried to make it blurrier but that's just my take. Nicely presented as is:)

Very nice shot. There is enough information there to try lots of effects.
I think it would look better with a different color cast (very gray now).
Also darken the back of the head and rump and lighten from the eyes to past the front legs.
This will draw more attention to the face.
