Snowy Fox II
Thanks for the comments on my last image.

This was taken a couple of days later, and I wanted to photograph one in clean snow with no grass poking through it!

Techs:
Nikon D300s
Nikon 200-400mm f4 VR at 200mm
Handheld
F4
1/800s
ISO 640

Please view large, and as always, all C&C welcome.

Thanks for looking,

Oscar :wavey:

Can you bring out any more detail in the snow by darkening the foreground a little, Oscar? There is also a tiny blob in the centre at the bottom that just has to go IMO. Other than that, an excellent shot.

Fantastic series you got dude. Agree about the blob.

Beautiful image, blob notwithstanding, easily removed.

Centre grey blob would be better gone Oscar. Run a grad filter in ACR/LR up the foreground snow adding a little clarity and contrast - just a hint mind!

The cloudiness at the muzzle is doubtless an OoF snow flake which is fine by me.

Super image Oscar - I'm envious :toast: :toast: :biggrin: :biggrin: :toast: :toast:

Hi Oscar
Great stuff !! needs a bit of ooooph ! Drop the gamma a tad or mess with levels a bit. Nothing too technical mind !!
