Superb! What a beautiful portrait Missy, everything as it should be and the eyes are amazing. A real top drawer image without a doubt!

Also - I find it very hard to get a good shot of a fox with it's eyes open. They seem to squint an awful lot so you did well to get this one's eyes wide open.

Another beautiful wildlife image Missy. I think you have a bit of the animal whisperer in you as this fox and other animals in your images often seem really connected to you the photographer, and now us the viewers. Thanks for sharing.

What's not to love? Like a cat and yet a dog at the same time. Did you know Missy the fox is the second fastest land animal in North America?? Just a bit slower than a pronghorn. I absolutely love this closeup. So beautiful an animal. Congrats on the pick!
