Red Fox

[DanWalters]

Captured this red fox after last nights snow fall. Tried to back up and show more of the environment. I guess sometimes I focus on trying to get that close eye contact! Thanks for looking.

The right ear was tilting backwards. I cloned the left ear, flipped it, and moved it over.

Excellent pose by fox and some snow flakes on nose are just good

Good placement of the fox in the frame, and love the eye contact. I like the sharp detail and colours, and well exposed on the snow.

Thanks for the comments!

Dan,

You scored big on this my friend. Beautiful image.

Super detail and I like the look he's giving you. The lattice-like pattern and color of the BG contributes to the wintery feel and contrasts nicely with the fox.

Thanks again!

A beautiful fox. Great job on the ear,too. Nice background, also.

That is just such a beautiful portrait! Despite the presence of the snow, the white is not overbearing and the tones are soft. Superb exposure control here! And I love the fur detail and the pose, too! Terrific stuff!
