Chas,
This is truly wonderful, perfect exposure:cheers::cheers:

Fox is killer with that stare. I am undecided about the BG OOF tree on the left. I tried some crops w/o it; first one just from the left but looked too square; and decided only a tight crop of the fox looks good. I like the falling snow. Also good handheld technique at that shutter speed.

Great eye contact and the snow really adds to it. Beautiful image.

TFS,
Rachel

 

[Steve Canuel]

Beautiful shot, beautiful animal.

 

[Jamie Douglas]

Awesome moment Chas and great image. I can't decide if a touch more snow in the FG might work.

 

[Sid Garige]

Exceptional job with details and techs as usual Chas. Great eye contact and pose makes it for me.

 

[Shreyas Mantri]

Another great execution. Always a treat to look at your images, Chas!

This is fabulous - the falling snow and low angle take it over the top for me...
