This is a grabbed shot of the animal in the meadow around the house.
First looking at this I thought pity about the grass. However looking again I thought it at least conveyed the animal as it was , and luckily no stems hiding the actual face
D200
Sigma 100-300 mm.
Evening weak sunlight.800 ISO 60th sec @f5.6
Slight crop .
Levels.
Re size sharpening.
Cheers

I like the colour contrasts here John!
Nice depth too.

To my eye it needs a slight CW rotation to get the fox's ears on the same plane, as there is no other real gauge of a level horizon other than the animal...

The I like the bump in brightness with the repost and the improved sense of "level." Great eyes!
