This young beauty arrived in my yard one winter. She casually investigated various feeders and then saw a squirrel. She made a clumsy attempt to catch it, and of course missed. This was take as she looked up at the disappeared prey with, I am guessing, some puzzlement.

Topaz paint , modified with PS mixer brush to smooth out edges and create a more pleasing (to me) effect.

Beautiful treatment here that definitely enhances this vixen.
I like the unusual pose, "foxy" colours and the story too
Just Lovely -

Cindy, you know foxes are close to my heart, and this is a real beauty. Love the way you framed the fox with the trees, and from experience I know that pose means that "the prey escaped." Beautiful brush work and very creative presentation! :)

Love this one Cindy!  The vixen presented you with a beautiful pose, you captured it and turned the picture into a work of art!

Superb!  :D

Thanks all, for your kind words. Have to admit this is one of my favorite pictures. I had this on hold for several weeks- was a little reluctant to "artify" it, but I'm pretty ok with the results.
