Beautiful animal! The setting is less than ideal, unfortunately. It looks like the fox was standing at the top of a road cut. And I do wonder about the tip of the tail as well. If there is a little additional detail in the fur on the chest, I'd bring that out. But it's a good pose and the animal is well-positioned within the cropped frame.

Jason, it's digital.
Jeff & Glenn, yes, I see the yellow cast. And, yes, it was a road cut.

Lovely image. I think I prefer the cropped version, with maybe a bit more room at the top.

This is a superb image of an animal I rarely see images of. I'm thrilled that you removed the color cast of the original, but I do like that crop with a bit more left on top to lose those distracting highlights seen in #2.
And those eyes! Superb capture, Monika!

Thanks for all your help with this. I didn't get around to putting it on my big monitor today. I removed those highlights & re-cropped with more room at the top.I always learn a lot from the critiques, so keep it coming!
