I love these fox photos, this one looks a little short of sharpness around the eyes.

[Morkel Erasmus]

lovely portrait Dan. I agree with Ken and would sharpen the face and eyes some more selectively...

[Kiran Khanzode]

Love the 3-D effect.

[Steve Berkowitz]

Beautiful pose and I like the snow on his nose. Looks like the focus is on the nose, not the eyes.

[Paul Taylor]

It's great the nose is sharp as the snow makes the difference, and if it had been maybe f/7.1 I think it might be perfect. Background, pose and colour are great and if you haven't already selectively sharpened the eyes it might be prefect yet. Wish I had foxes and snow to shoot!

[Steve Canuel]

Nice intimate portrait. I think the sharpness as presented goes well with the overall soft feel of this one.

[DanWalters]

Thanks for the comments. I need to remember to stop down sometimes!

[Todd Frost]

Nice portrait of this fox. Agree with Steve on the level of detail, it's sharp enough where it needs to be. TFS

Love the close-up portrait Dan- these foxes are my favourite. Read both views on sharpness, personally I would try for a tad sharper eyes, but it is beautiful as it stands.

[Danny Laredo]

Sweet portrait. Love the eye contact and detail.

[Fabs Forns]

Beautiful eye contact and surroundings. Not a Mountain Fox?

[DanWalters]

Thanks again! No, Fabs, this is not a mountain fox.
