Hi Juan... I really like your angle/perspective here, and the vegetation around this little guy. If mine I might play with brightening up some in post processing. Hope to see more!

Great catch light in those eyes! Beautiful shot Juan.

Really nice close up portrait. I like the shallow dof you got with the 2.8 aperture. The eyes could be sharpened just a hair more imho, easy fix and worth some experimenting. Color balance seems rather green on my monitor, might add some red to adjust. Did you post this in sRGB, colors work best on the net in that space. The soft background, interesting flowers in the foreground and neat subject makes for an awesome photo.

Welcome to the Wildlife Gallery Juan . I like this for a few reasons. First of all I like the fact that the fox is not looking directly at the viewer. The catchlights in the eyes are of course very helpful in making those eyes the focal point of the image. The flowers are a super addition and the BG nice and smooth. On the down side I also have a few nits with this image. It is a bit underexposed and would certainly benefit from some brightening and increase in contrast. That will make it look much more attarctive. Looking at the larger image I conclude that the focus is on the ears more than the eyes. IMO your aperture was too shallow for a subject at this close range. Looking at your ISO and SS settings you had enough light to stop down a bit. Lastly that OOF twig in the BG is a bit (but only a little) distracting. I hope we will see more of your images as well as comments in this gallery.
