Generally speaking this is a decent picture and might make an excellent candid portrait of a pet or zoo animal.

Voters will give this a low score because they will feel it is being shoehorned into the challenge as an excuse to post a pet picture.

Technically there are couple things that could be improved in this image. The white coat of the animal is overexposed in the center. That should be corrected. It is made even more pronounced because the wall behind it is in deep shadow.

The animal surroundings add little to the composition and most of it could be cropped out. That would remove the very distracting semi-circular area on the lower left side of the frame that makes the view ask, "What the heck is that?". Overall there is too much shaded area in the frame and it is better to minimize it. Cropping would also remove the distracting white stripe below animal's head.

Position of the fox looks awkward and I find the shot generally too busy.

AWWWWWW I just love candid animal photos. Nice shadow play on his face. Kind of goes with his coloring! This is nice.
