Hi Eric.
This is a very cute image of this artic fox, the calm expression contrast with the cold day, they must have a great fur to keep warm :)
The whites splendid and detailed on my monitor.
Beautiful post.

Hi Eric,
Cute image but difficult mission...
Nevertheless you did well concerning the white areas, the highlights which are detailed very well, except towards the nose. But as I mentioned above very difficult task IMO...

Hi Eric,
Beautiful portrait of this cute arctic fox. Exposure is very well handled. Well done and TFS

Great job Eric on a very tough subject and setting. You have nailed the whites here exposure wise and this leaves us with the detail in the coat. Sharpness spot on. I like you low viewpoint and tight crop,

Good job, nice kit there.

Hello Eric,
Fine details in this capture as you can see the snow on his white fur. He looks sleppy or bored though, thanks for sharing.

Bonjour Eric, ce renard des neiges est dans son élément!! magnifique portrait et la cerise sur le gâteau avec les petits cristaux de neige sur le tête!! Félicitations, Didier.

Salut Éric
Tres beau renard! Son pelage d'un blan si pure a lair si doux. Et que dire de son expression! Excellente photo.
Merci et au revoir...JP

Hello again! :)
Anothe very nice close-up! This portrait looks fantastic! Great DOF and interesting details (even snow-flakens are seen!).
I have to say that I saw this species in the wild (on Spitsbergen) but during a summer period, when its colouration is brown, not so beauty like on this picture :)
Best greetings from Poland,
Radomir
