Hey Rick, The wire fence just completely ruined for me. It turned it into
another zoo shot. This may not be perfect, but I'd rather not see the fence.
Just my worthless 2 pennys
Sometimes, in order to get a whiter white, you have to force a darker value around it to show a good contrast. The fur in the edit isn't significantly "whiter," but because I centered your focus point, I think it helps the eye to make a clean separation between the two. I think.
