A generally well composed shot-you have cut the tree out of the frame on the left hand side so a little more care with composition when shooting.

A great study of an animal familiar to all of us-the Fox's expression really makes the shot he looks relaxed perhaps even posing for you (narrative in the photograph).

Still life photographs of natural subjects are very difficult to execute successfully, you need to really study the subject in terms of lighting & texture.
