1DIV 70-200 1.4x 1/1600 f5.6 ISO800

One from this winter. This very co-operative beauty gave me just enough time for a few shots while she hunted at the side of the road.

What a beautiful image Greg. The leg positions are simply perfect, in fact the whole body pose is perfect. The white BG isolates the subject perfectly. Great work.

Great detail in the coat and I really like the surrounding snow. Very clean image as well!

What a stunning photo. I love the allmost simmilar curves of the fox'e back and the snow. Very detailed also. Why did you use ISO 800? was it later in the day?

Hi Greg,

Very nice - technically solid (exposure looks great on my monitor - very nice job on the whites) and just beautiful to look at! No nits from me...

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...
