Welcome to Wildife!  I like the inclusion of the scenery and the shadow adds a nice element.  Good use of the wide angle perspective. 
I wish though that you'd caught him about 3 steps sooner so that he's not heading out of the frame.  But overall an enjoyable photo.

Wonderful scene. Often times we need a view of the face to make an image work, but I don't think it's necessary here.

Jon, This is really nice! As Max mentioned, the facing away pose works well here. In regards to it walking out of frame, I don't see that as an issue - adds some tension and makes you wonder what it might be looking at or where it's going next. The placement of the fox within the composition balances things nicely as well. The only critique is that it would've been nice to see more sharpness throughout by stopping down a bit but it's super nice regardless.
