Hi Dale - Not sure about the fox facing away, although I do like seeing the ear tips. The environment and snow is great with lots of detail and depth to it. You can almost feel the wind blowing it around. The footprints also add a lot for me. If it were mine I might reduce the blues a bit as an alternative. Always good to experiment.
TFS,
Rachel

An interesting take here Dale and 'perhaps' throwing the Rule book out, nice one. I find myself along with the fox, looking into the environment & distance rather than the subject, an arresting image.

Haseeb, I think you have to be there to appreciate how light and colour can change, the colour of shadows aren't just various of dark tones/shades of black, but in it's nature far more reflective, therefore blue can be very prevalent. In addition you meter off the snow, close to the subject, as snow often throws the camera off.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. This was an image that had set in my files for a while. The more I looked at it the better I liked it. A blue tint to snow on days with clear skies is completely natural... Just as the blue sky makes water look very blue it does exactly the same with snow and also emphasizes the feeling of cold which I was trying very hard to convey in this image. I used that to my advantage IMHO to achieve what I was seeing and feeling looking at the scene. One may call it artistic interpretation. A very common and acceptable practice in painting,

Dale I'm too draw into what the fox is looking at that he's looking away in this case works for me. It's a stunning frame I can see why you got excited upon viewing this trhrough your lens,The blues also work for me

Dale I look at a picture like this and wonder what that old Fox as got on his mind, it looks a bit barren to us but there could be all sorts of furry creatures under that snow to make a meal.this is my sort of image and one that I like a lot just the way you have posted it ,an can see nothing that I would like to change.

Oh, all sits in this image for me. I had a look with the blue, but here it sits for me, adds much to the image. So well done with this little chap.
Have a great evening

You broke the box here and I like it.
I always say in my talks that our obsession with eye contact often means the animal is looking at the photographer, which means it's not doing much else and we have possibly invaded their space more than we need to...
