Edit this fox!

[jimmerjamma]

I'm having a heck of a time editing this photo. The lighting was bad and I had it over exposed. I'm uploading the original photo and the one I edited. The one I edited just doesn't look right to my eye and I can't quite tell what it is. I'd love the see what everyones edited version looks like and please please please comment and critique on my edit.

I think your work is very good, maybe the shot is not very clear so it looks still a little low contrast.
Just had a quick try in pt photo editor, also can do it in lightroom or other:
1. Crop photo. Because the fox was just looking to the right, I left more area in the right side.
2. Correct levels.
3. Add a little contrast with Curves
4. Increase image saturation, clarity, and sharpening
5. Add a little orange color filter in shadows with Splite toning

Thank you all for editing the photo! You're right fazapan, it could use some contrast.

Personal preference, but that image needs to be cropped! Your subject is the fox, right (not the grass)?



A little bit of contrast, some sharpening. Ba-da-boom, ba-da-bing.

I like the tighter crop!

Let us know what you decide to do!

Here's my version

Quick run through FastStoneImage Viewer.

Bring down highlights, add contrast, adjust levels, bring down curves, sharpen, resize to 850.

Cheers, Don

By far the best one.

I had a play as well

This was my effort using Photoshop Elements.

I made a tighter crop on the right side so it looks like the fox is looking outside the frame, I also adjusted the levels and contrast.

Anybody remember the movie Sixteen Candles?
