Doug,
Lovely capture. I love the sharpness and the pose. It is tight, but if you would have removed the 1.4x then then image would have lost its impact. I too struggle when with long focal lengths as little movement of the tail would result in a portion cutoff. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

I don't think this would have lost its impact when you would have removed that 1.4x. This because the colour of the fox would still let the animal stand out. This version is a bit too tight for my personal taste.
