First of all - this really looks quite different from what you usually put into your gallery. In a good way.
Taking a real photo as reference was a very good idea, as the background is probably the best one you've drawn.
Though i don't know if it was in the photo, but the top left corner looks a bit odd. I take it the sun was coming from that side, but still.
I like how the water looks and the water reflections are quite fine.
Adding a foreground that covers the character was a good idea - it adds a bit of depth to the whole image.
Though, with her being in the image, I'd expect her to have some impact on the view. Ripples on the water, holding some of the weeds away from her face or something.


The placement of the vixen is good. I remember during art classes we were always told to put the image/character/object of interest somewhere further from the center of the image. And it does look good like this.

Though the placement of her looks good, I'd still want to point a few things out.
First - her hair. For some reason it doesn't look like it could be wet, but doesn't look like it could be dry either. I've a feeling it was supposed to be wet, but in that case it would probably appear straighter, while dry ones would appear with a little more volume to the sides, smoother flowing and such.
The fur does give a feel of being wet, but they too I think need a bit of work.

I also would like to focus a bit on her muzzle before moving down to the body anatomy.
Looking at it, it seems like the lower jaw is placed farther out than the upper jaw, which is not good for a fox.
Also, maybe making her lower jaw/chin a bit less wide would put a more feminine look on her?

Now moving onto her body. First off, I'll say that her body looks a bit too short. Approximately 2 heads fit into her body, while in reality roughly 3 should fit.
That being said, the form still looks good. the hourglass shape is there.
The breasts look good. The placement looks rather good ( perhaps could be a tiny bit higher, but them being lower makes them look more realistic .... and not fake breasts! )
The hands I think would need some work onto them - they seem to be lacking certain muscles.

And lastly her pose. This part is a little bit... um... boring. I mean it looks fine, but it could have focused a little bit on some movement or something. Like perhaps she's walking out of the water, or something. Or she discovered the "photographer" and was turning her head, part of her body or something similar to see what he/she was doing.

Though I've pointed out things I think that need work, I'll still say that I like the image. The work you put into it does show ( hence why I kept it in my inbox for some time before writing this )
But besides the fact it looks good, I can't give ratings as high as others have given.
The concept isn't really original - there are many images of girls ( vixens too ) pictured in a nature setting.
The technique needs some work... Though the impact I'll rate higher, since it did stand out of my pile of deviations in the inbox and didn't let me close it. And using a photo as reference is encouraging me to do the same thing ( encouraging to start doing, as I've contemplated it already <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="" title="Sweating a little..."/> )

Overall - there are some things to be fixed, but it looks good and I'm sure you'll soon overcome any difficulties. Good luck
