Almost looks like 4:3 composition Andreas. The overcast probably misty conditions have rendered less bold colours, I assume they are as seen. Terrific shot but the coat looks a little dull (which I am sure it was under these conditions). A good capture of that moment in time.

Thanks Jon ... your 4:3 vision is fooled by the subject being tight in the frame .
This was a real problematic one ... dark subject against a pale misty BG , so I opted for more details instead of deep tones . But do not think the fur does look flat ... just the colors are missing due to the conditions .

Cheers Andreas
