The mosquitoes look unbelievably large, I hope you were well covered up.
The Fox itself is delightful, I might consider a little taking a little from the bottom.
Ignacio - great light, detail and sharpness on the fox. Those mosquitos are huge. I agree about some off the bottom, to above the pink flowers. Also there are a few dust spots on the right.

Ignacio, love those Canadian Mosquitoes. Nice light on the fox and I really like the out of focus blossoms in the foreground.
Hi Ignacio, nice to see you back posting here again.
I like the idea that Marina suggested of the fox being positioned slightly more to the right, plus I think a little off the top too, would help. The FG brings a nice weight to the composition and although not a lover of the 'stone (?)' in the BKG the colour and shape seems to be reflected also in the FG, so it kind of balances for me. Having the purple/pink also adds to the sea of colour. If the bugs are anything like the ones in Alaska I can sympathise with the fox.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Sympathise with me too, Steve! The "stone" in the BG is actually an earth mound, part of the fox's den.

Handsome subject and a nice colorful FG. Gives a good sense of summer in the arctic for me.
Interesting POV here Ignacio (sorry for only getting to this image now)...love the flowers upfront for colour it adds to the overall image.
Those looks like huge mosquitos!
I would maybe slice some off the top - am fine with the fox's position in the frame?
