I might be late on this one, but has anyone seen this shot? Does anyone have the story on it?

Looks like a helluva photoshop job Tony. If the eagle is just swooping in and hasn't hit the fox yet with its talons, why is the fox doing a back flip with his tail hanging limply over his back. Ears are straight out in a relaxed mode and one would have to think the fox would have its ears pinned if'n he was reacting. There is a small digital "whoops" on the foxes hind leg righ above the foot, it appears. The snow is pretty hardpack around the carcass from all the work by scavengers but the foxes front feet are clipped to make it appear as though they are pushed into the snow. Cool creation but I'm crying B.S. on this one. What do you think?

Someone did a fairly decent job with their editing software. ;-) -TONY

okay, my only thought was that the eagle was a bit too big, ie, the relationship between the size of the kill, the coyote, and the bird seemed kind of odd.

Come on Tony!!!!! You gotta know that "coyote" is a red fox.

TFinalshot · Aug 10, 2006

Well if youre looking at the tail and the color, you might be correct, however, in nothern montana and alberta I never have seen a redfox that big. They are half that size, even in the winter around here. . .

Do you guys remember that thread a while back where the mule was flinging the lion around? The position of this cat looks the same as it did in the other pic if my memory serves me correctly.

Technology has so complicated the world. Used to be we could see a picture like this and enjoy the fact that wierd things happen. Now we have to question anything we see. Dammit!!!

BS,
Gonna have to start calling you 'Photoshopspy', geeze you've got an eye for picking them out. I first saw this pic and thought 'Wow what a capture' and now I see you are totally right about it being a fake. I still remember when you called out Maniac on a photoshop job. That was some funny $hit.

It's the fox that's too big. i think the "digital error" mentioned before is hair removed by a snare or trap. that fox is dead.

Sorry about the multiple posts guys. For some reason it wasn't posting so I tried a couple more times. It took two days for them to appear???????

Are you sure youre not just a little scitzophrenic?

idhunters · Sep 22, 2006

Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm scitzophrenic and so am I.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Looks real to me, the position the fox is in looks very natural for the situation, and the pain in his face hard to mimic. Ive seen this happen before, mature Goldens vs coyotes and young deer.
