photoblog image Twiddled Fox

Twiddled Fox

For those who advise me to punch this up and twiddle that, I've done one.  I uploaded this onto a web-based photo editor and pressed Auto Fix.  Basically it whitened the white.  If I knew how to use the various tools, I could probably make it better but do not know the tools. For this time only, as well, I am using the white background. With the super white background on the photo now, it seemed to fit.

I will be back with a black background untwiddled photo tomorrow.

It showed up on the black background for me, Mary, so after reading your text, I switched it to white. Wow! That is one foxy fox!
Mary MacADNski: I thought it stayed the way you posted it. No difference. It is easily switched. It was my only time ever of using the white background.

Gorgeous fox.

Great shot of it, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: I have so many!
This is a nice shot, that auto twiddle did the tricksmile
Mary MacADNski: I actually like it in the natural white much better.

What a beautiful creature - I see he has his winter coat on. It was on a black background for me too - in fact I think I prefer it on black.

Mary MacADNski: The last fox shot showed her coat beautifully. I pretty well always like black as a background but since the twiddle turned the photo to such stark (dead) white, I thought I'd try it. Woke me up!
You did well Mary. I like it!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Richard. She's beautiful to shoot.

Wow, I followed ginnies lead and went for white. Great capture Mary
Mary MacADNski: It matched the stark white I got from twiddling but I usually prefer dark.
beauty.
I could give you a few tips...
but this is pretty darn nice as it is...
cheers
rob
Mary MacADNski: thanks.
excellent shot
Mary MacADNski: Thanks so much.
It works beautifully with the white background (after I switched to it!)The problem with snow is you often get a blue cast so a quick auto fix is allowedtongue. I don't know if you have tried Picasa from google, but it is a useful way of getting basic adjustments to pictures.

Beautiful picture.
Mary MacADNski: I had Picasa but found it bulky and slow. I love the blue in snow, Bill. I thin it is what makes snow beautiful and delight in the colour every day. Every day at dawn and dusk we have a blue period that is among the most beautiful lights of hre day - I call it the blue hour though it is usually shorter.
Lovely shot Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks Ron.
WOW! great shot and the snow is useful for something--provides a great backdrop for your fox that doesn't interfere with your subject.
Mary MacADNski: He comes to the side yard and isn't timid so I can get out there. I have tons of fox/snow photos.
I love this Mary, i would have this hanging on the wall.
Mary MacADNski: It's on by desktop actually but in the natural white, not the stark white that twiddling provided.

I really like your wildlife pictures, especially the foxes
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Paul. They are common here. Would love to get some coyote shots.
WOW! Awesome!!!!
Mary MacADNski: She's a visitor that is not exactly welcome but I get some good shots.
Billiant. Never seem to get close enough to these cunning fellows to capture a pic. This is very very good.
Mary MacADNski: This fox comes onto my deck. I DON'T feed them but many people do. They want my cats. It does give me a good opportunity for some shots. I can go onto the deck and they don't run away.
You're my favorite fox shooter Mary.

This one is fabulous!
Mary MacADNski: I have a lot of them. I think there was a raccoon here overnight. A bird feeder was torn down. Thank you, Remi.
It's a stunning shot - well done.
Peter
Mary MacADNski: You're too kind. thanks for your comments, Peter. Come back anytime.
