Red Fox

My question on this picture is about the composition. Under the right eye there is a really bright spot, and the left eye is very dark. Does it look good like that or is it too much.



Canon PowerShot SX10 IS
Exposure Time: 0.0006 s (1/1600)

Can you post your exif? Would love to know your settings as this is really bright.
In answer to your question, the eyes are rather unbalanced.

The composition, in my opinion, is really good. The difference in the eyes is because of the shadow, making the left (as we look at the photo) eye correctly exposed while the right eye is underexposed. Exposing for the shadow likely would have blown the all the whites in the photo. You did about the best you could under the circumstances. Would the fox have waited while you set up fill flash or a reflector? You got the shot, while not perfect.

Keep shooting

Some masking and level adjusting it was partially salvageable.
