Thank you, I used to use Photoshop in the past. I no longer use that product. Refuse to pay for monthly subscriptions. I now prefer to use Skylum products.

Location
This photo was taken in my back yard! I just happened to look out my patio doors and noticed this vixen, soaking up the warm rays of the sun on a cold winters day!Time
This photo was taken around 12 noon - 12:15..Lighting
It was noon, on a sunny winter day, against, white snow.. the lighting was harsh! Not ideal. But I was not going to waste the opportunity to get up close and personal, due to harsh lighting.Equipment
I was using a Canon Rebel T7i with a Canon Zoom lens, EF 75-300 mm. Hand held, no flashInspiration
I love taking photos of wild life and equines. So I was not missing the opportunity to get some decent shots of a lovely Red Fox in my own back yard. I was able to get fairly close with out causing undue stress to the animal. Interrupted my lunch, but I was A okay with that!Editing
For this photo, I did do some basic post-processing with Photoshop.In my camera bag
I carry 2 camera bodies, both are Canon Rebels. One is the orginal Rebel, that belonged to my deceased daughter, and the other my Rebel T7i. Also you will find in my bag, several lenses, cleaners, a flash, and a small tripod. I also tuck away some plastic bags in case of rain!Feedback
Only advice I have for wild life photographers, is don't stress out the animal, for a stellar shot! A calm animal, and a less than stellar shot, is a better option.
