I made this photo in June this year when I was in Prince Edward Island National Park. There was one fox familly foraging around the main road. I jumped out of the car and spend an hour with them. It was late afternoon, lot's of trees and shadows around. I like this photo, because only the fox is in light while the BG is in shade. Also I like the face expression - she was watching 3 young foxes which were playing around.

EOS 10D + 400/5.6L + probably some extensions

Thanks for looking

Sweet shot Fero. I like the lighting and her expression. I hope we get to see a shot of the kits as well.

Another fine fox image Fero.. Thanks for posting... I like the way the background is dark also and the composition, looking across the frame.. Excellent!

Fero, Very nice! The light is awesome, as are the pose and expression. I also hope to see some of the kits.

Beautifully done! It doesn't look like much escapes those watchful and experienced eyes.

Beautiful, incredibly sharp, well-done...WOW
If you look at the background, it almost looks like a studio shot!

Hey Fero,

this is So cool. There's some mood in this image which defies description (from me, anyway!) .. just a beautiful shot of a gorgeous creature. there's something in her eyes that moves me. Love it.

Cheers

Carl

Love that look and the composition; you're correct that the darker background works very well here. Might take a bit more USM.

This is tremendous, Fero -- she's beautifully posed and a warmly lit subject against a dark background is my favorite lighting for wildlife. A crop from the left down to 4x5 proportion might also work well.
