My very busy schedule of the past few weeks has prevented me from either posting photos or commenting or critiquing any of your photos. This made me quite sad. For that matter, I didn’t even have time to go shoot in the field either. Having a little more free time for a short while, I dare to post the result of the processing of one of the images of the arctic fox that I had captured at the Ecomuseum on January 19. In fact, it is another POV on the specimen shown on a previous photo of Patty which I have posted on TN. I still find the idea of posting an arctic fox relevant given that winter seems far from being over here in Quebec .

You will find interesting information on the arctic fox at this Environment Canada’s Web site: “Hinterland Who’s Who”.

Well done on this capture and well composed. What happened on the left half side.? The gradiant filter not reduced in opacity?

Bonjour Serge, beau portrait de ce renard. Le regard est super. Félicitations pour cette photo, ne nous fait pas attendre aussi longtemp pour la prochaine.

Its a lovely shot Serge and the whites have been exposed correctly revealing nice details in the fur...but do we need to increase contrast something does not look right. Anyhow its a beautiful portrait of the Arctic Fox...very nice and well done.

Splendide!
Ce renard est vraiment captivant et son regard très accrocheur.
Bravo et merci !

Bonjour Serge, Pas facile de prendre une bonne photo d'un animal tout blanc, le couvert nuageux était donc le bienvenu. Belle photo!

Bravo, Serge. Tu me connais. Je ne pouvais pas voir ta photo sans être tenté de faire un WS.
Il est mon commentaire.
Merci.

Very cute fox portrait.The right eye looks great.
Left side of the photo is a little soft.
But it is an artistic shot.
Well done!TFS...

Nice closeup. Love the crop you have done. Awesome work. 10 out of 10!

Composition:****
Technical quality:***
Wow factor:**
Personality:*****

Nice shot, but it would have been good to get both of the eye in focus.
Well done.
TFS.

Nice portrait Serge.
Very good composition. Only the right side is sharp ?
Good handle with the white, maybe little more contrast.
Very well done, my friend.

Lovely close up Serge, I also see waht Mike has mentioned, there does seem to be some clouding over the left hand side. The right hand eye is beautiful so it's a shame that something appears to have changed the left. Great shot though, well done.

Très belle image de se superbe animal.

Belle image Serge. Les yeux et le poil forment une agréable composition concentrique vers le museau. C'est très réussi comme effet. Mon seul regret: le voile inexplicable du côté gauche de l'image.
Mais avec cette image, l'esprit transcende la matière.

Une superbe photo que je trouve pour ma part tres bien réussie.
Le blanc est vraiment blanc , ses yeux sont magnifiques , bref que du bonheur.
Bravo , vivement la prochaine.

THis is beautiful !!! those are hypnotizing !! she looks all soft and furry, I like that.

Thnx for sharing.
Elize

Exelent shot Serge :-))
