    Fantastic shot with a great composition. The jumping fox is wonderful. The vegetation is a nice bonus.

    I agree with the other Markus :-)
    An excellent job and the vegetation gives the extra punch to the image.
    Any chance to improve on the whites on the tail? E.g. get a bit of hairy look?

    Hi Dale - great composition and as the others said the vegetation really adds and balances the image. Excellent timing and your usual great techs.

    TFS,

    Hi Dale, lovely capture, love the arched body, did he/she get their quarry?

    Would really welcome your thoughts on other posts Dale.

    Hi Dale,
    good timing to achieve this shot, well done on that.
    I think the image is crying for a 16:9 format, how ever i think the fox could stand a tad more sharpening.Good control on the whites.

    TFS Andreas

    Wonderful action shot. I'm with Andreas on a little more sharpening on the fox and 16:9 format too. TFS. Loi

    Awesome timing and lovely framing Dale. I would perhaps tone down saturation in the red/yellow channels on the fox?

    Nice shot. I like the clean curve of the fox's back but its the clump of vegetation in the snow that tops this one off for me.

    Very nice - does it need slight cw rotation? Beautiful shot.
