I think this turned out well. I like the detail in the fox, the surroundings, and the colors, enhanced by the sunset. Great job.

John, this is beautiful! I love the crop, the subject, the background, the colors, the light.

Very nice! I think I like everything with this photo. The light, the colors, the eye contact and not least the composition.

Very pretty. Just wondering how a vertical would look. I can see you are having fun with 'your' fox!

This is a very pleasing image John. I like how well the fox stands out and how it is naturally framed by those grasses. On my screen the cheek does not look blown b.t.w. I can understand the request to see this in vertical, but this works well for me too. However, IMO it would be even better with a bit more space at the bottom for the virtual feet. Perhaps you have more room at the bottom in the original?

Thanks Here's a vertical -but had a job sticking some bottom on as there was no more on the original. Tidied up a couple of grass stalks whilst at it, and the cheek is just not quite 255 !!!
What do you reckon ?
Cheers
