This image is from my trip up to Paradise last week. The fox was creating a great deal of anxiety for the marmots in the area who were whistling wildly. While I wish this image had greater depth of field (f/6.3), I was pleased with the effect of the mist coming off the snow. I did crop the image a bit to minimize distracting reflections on the periphery. Thanks for looking!

I love this shot, Deb. Too bad so few here do more than view and run. It's a tad over-exposed so I wish you had one where there was some detail in the ground and sky - but still I love the focus and body language of the fox.

Thanks very much for the comments. I appreciate John's comment about overexposure and lack of detail in the snow (the entire background is snow, with no sky in the image). If only I could do it again! Also, in playing around with the image in Lightroom, I found that a black border helped frame the image and minimize the lack of detail a bit.
