		Yes, stuffed, low-light/no flash. I agree I over-brightened it a bit, but the gradient is natural except for being changed to a sky-ish color instead of the dark wall there originally. I'll post a reduced original for comparison.

		Looks kind of like taxidermy, forgive the fox if I am wrong.
 Either way, nice image |

		| This one looks stuffed. At least his eyes should be in focus. |

		| This photo looks pretty funky to me.  Looks like the fox(?) was Photoshopped onto a gradational background.  Something about it just doesn't look natural to me.  Also looks like the fox is dead & stuffed.  Anyway, moving on from my confusion... I think your composition would be improved with a crop on the left, just a little away from its ear.  That would bring the viewer's eye more easily from its glass eye & down along the body.  OK, I have to move on now, your photo is starting to freak me out! :-D |

		| This appears to be stuffed?? The background might present a better focus on the animal if it were dark. I like the shadow on his neck and back and the angle of the shot. |

		| not sure if it is the over-processing, or if I truly am looking at a fox back from the taxidermist. |
