Arctic Fox in Fresh Winter Snow

Opening Description: An Arctic fox stands in fresh snow on a quiet tundra, its pale winter coat contrasting with the blue-gray landscape. Subject: A small Arctic fox with dense white fur, compact ears, a pointed muzzle, dark nose, and bright attentive eyes. Clothing: No clothing or accessories; its thick natural winter coat appears plush, with delicate fur around the paws and cheeks. Action: The fox pauses with one forepaw lifted, nose angled into the breeze as it surveys the open terrain. Environment: Snowdrifts, wind-shaped ice, and distant low tundra ridges stretch across the background beneath a pale winter sky. Lighting: Cool diffused daylight creates soft blue shadows in the snow and subtle highlights along the fox's white fur. Camera: Low eye-level full-body wildlife shot, fox positioned slightly to one side with negative space showing the open tundra. Style Details: Photorealistic arctic wildlife photography, finely resolved fur, restrained icy color palette, accurate anatomy, and a quiet, resilient mood.
