Snow makes such a great setting for the rich red of the fur and a click really shows the clever lighting and sparks this beauty to life!

Beautifully done Cindy. Love it!

This is excellent, Cindy. What a great composition – perfectly enhanced with the vignetting. Your paint strokes appear very realistic, and I love the background tree, which adds depth and balances the image for me. The color of the fox is perfectly natural, and not overdone! This fox is a real beauty, Cindy! Great job!

Thanks all for you nice feedback. This fox was a very special visitor-really the only set of decent photos I have of a fox. I wish she would come back....or her progeny. I see tracks in the woods and glimpses on my trail cameras....:). This one waltzed into my back yard as I ran from window to window to "catch" her.

Beautiful painting done here Cindy! I never done any digital art painting, but I really like it. I am sure it takes a lot of skills and patient to create something like this.

Thank you Ludo. It may take a bit of patience, and perhaps some skill, but it is fun! And the applications like Topaz Impression are easy to use. Give it a try!

LOVE all your foxes (especially the winner on your new website) and this is no exception.
The dark front legs draw my eye a little - dodging them a little lighter and with some detail might be something to consider.
Spectacular!

Thanks Sandy!  I wish I could see more of them around here- I see lots of tracks...
