This young fox heard the click of the shutter and peered through the bushes to see what made the noise. I was covered head to toe in camo, so it never "made" me.

Jerry, I really like this composition and capture. Because of the DOF being so shallow and the vegetation between you and the fox the entire image takes on a dreamy photoart appearance. Those large ears sticking straight up adds to the cuteness factor...

Certainly a dream-like quality to this image Jerry and that adds to its appeal. Nice one.

Jerry,
Entertaining expression. One hot spot on the white fur. I think I might prefer him over to the right more altho I have no idea if the surroundings would have permitted that composition.

Thanks to all of you! Fox photos are my "Holy Grail". We don't have any place around here (parks, etc) where the fox are used to humans, so they are very difficult to locate and photograph.

Sweet shot, Jerry. I like you composition and the selective focus is perfect for the foxes head. Nice, alert look.
