The Stare

I have enjoyed the view.

With the contrast in color between the fox and the ridges behind him, I don't think you have to worry about the lines. They both draw you back in to the fox. You want to look around at the background, but you just can't- you have to go back to him. Excellent capture!

 

 

Because your DOF is so good, the lines do not detract at all, imo, but instead serve to draw your eyes straight to the fox. Nice contrast of colors with foreground and background, too. Well done!

Pretty much speechless on this shot. Award Winner!

Having read about the fox in the other photo this completes the unique story. Hope you meet him again:) Thank You for sharing! BR Hannu

What an adoable model. This is a great shot.....

You definitly have a talent with nature shots...

Bravo'

Jim... First of all, we've been missing your postings for quite a while now. I'm glad Shenandoah brought this one back around again. Obviously the ridge lines were bothering you or you wouldn't have asked the question. I've visited this shot several times and continue to share your apprehension. Anyway, you never know how it will work unless tried, so here's a version with the ridge line raised a tad... I still say it's a remarkable image either way... Mike
