Sounds like you both live in places that are very cold at the moment. The animal portrait shot posted here is very beautiful. It benefits from a great composition and the face is very sharp. Your open lens did a good job of blurring the background. Well done!

Thank you very much! It is a little too cold here right now for my liking :)

I just want to hug this little guy, so cute and fluffy! You've captured a wonderful gentle expression on its face, it's ears are perfectly perked up with a narrow gaze. The clarity and closeness of the photo are great. Well done!

I know - me too! I'm not sure hugs would be wise though :) Thank you for your review!

This fellow is so beautiful and your capture is perfection. The lighting is wonderful and with that white... that's grand knowledge! ;-)) Kudos! Wonderful focus as well with just the very best detail. Fabulous. Thanks for sharing.

A beautiful animal and a very fine shot. I like the exposure for the white (don't believe em if someone claims it is overexposed). The colors are great and the piercing eyes are outstanding.

oh dear now my secret is out! My various drugs cause me to fall asleep in a second or two, and when i wake up i may have a glass of wine spilled, a car up on the sidewalk. That is, i am typing in my sleep and because of that, i apparent don't hit spell check. On top of that, something has caused me to lose my typing skills where i used to be very good. Sorry! I think you were first, Glad it made you laugh.

I'm sorry to hear that you are going through such troubles! I just thought it was fast typing :)

a great shot, Envision.
as it is a great picture of the fox as it looks at something. a very interesting story, as I hope you are staying warm.
but -94 to start shivering is a testament to there adaptions. as it does not seem to have much fat but love the shot of it looking for the hunt. a real pleasure to view and read. thank you for sharing.
always,
ron

Thank you! I am doing my best not to be outside for too long today! Frostbite can happen in less than ten minutes in this weather.

hi Envision,
you are welcome, as I love it and your story adds that extra to enjoy it more.
I bet as I would think it would be less time for that.
hoping this vortex leaves for a warmer Christmas. :-)
wishing you my best. always,
ron
