Lovely eyes. Nice details and light. You must have been plenty close.

Great fox portrait Michael. You have managed very nicely to highlight the naturally handsome features of this canid. Well done!!!

Wow! Light like that can make anything look beautiful and certainly something as pretty as a fox's face. The only nit for me is that clipped paw at the bottom edge; I would suggest to leave it out altogether.

Wonderful light, eye contact and detail - I would crop more to take out the paw and tail altogether. Excellent image!

Lovely color and detail on this pretty species. The comp is a bit of a "tweener" as they say, not super tight but not full body, looks pretty good as is but would have to see the full frame to know if other options might work as well. You had some great light to work with! (The thumbnail sure looks flat compared to the actual posted images).
