The ears are too parallel/vertical, they would look better if they pointed away from each other. And you do have to watch some of the forms, not all of they have anatomically correct legs. But very nice overall. Daniel.

Daniel, that's an opinion, not a critique.  http://www.oceanlight.com/spotlight.php?img=12094

Gorge, you are correct, I apologize. I have yet to see any fox with the ears perfectly parallel. If you put a straight line from the tip to the center of the base, the lines always point slightly away from each other.

Might just be me but did you skin the ears all the way to the edges?  I's really hard on fox, and maybe you did.  Looks like a great mount though.

northernmontana : they were skinned all the way to the edge,cartilage removed and the earliners are put in with 2 part epoxy. There is a little blow out on the upper right part of its left ear though, if you notice where the fur is alittle messed up. Damn that skin is thin....
