Arctic fox panblur

After so many days photographing arctic foxes you start out experimenting a bit...curious about your opinion here.

Oh Man !!!! This is all about feel and this has it !!! Only wish you could see the front leg but a big keeper in my book My type of image and love it !!!!

Immediate spontaneous love for this photo! Very very cool. If any, a little more light in his face to show the big grin :-)
Applause!

Nice sharpness on the body and just the right blur on the BG.

I really like the sense of motion and the comp. The fox turned out just sharp enough where you can still see his eye.

Nice try there ! I think yellows over power the subject. I would try reducing the contrast on yellow a bit. Getting the accurate pan at slow shutter speed of 1/30 sec is not just easy.

Jasper, if you look a the BBC winners this year, there's a blur of a fox I believe, so I would say it's accepted ?

I like as presented. Love doing things a bit different and pushing the envelope :)

Jasper this is a very nice image. Normally I've discarded these type of images away but I've started to keep a few that I feel capture a moment. This one certainly does for me.
