Looks like the fox just finished something good.

Like the tongue and the position of the fox. Like the grass in the background as well.

Hi Michael,

Yep, that one is looking quite content! To my eye this is a very solid shot and shows the beauty of the fox's coat nicely. That being said, to me this image is mostly about the head - the eyes and tongue are just great. I "see" a wonderful portrait here - in way it's a bit of a shame this beautiful animal didn't do this either a little closer to you (or when you had a longer lens mounted on your camera). I'm not advocating cropping this to a portrait shot (that would be some pretty extreme cropping)...just a "in a perfect world" comment...

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Brad

Nice timing on the capture and a good look at the entire fox. I like the separation between tail and leg as well as the BG grasses. Is he missing part of his front foot?

A beautiful image... I'd just clone out the clump of deer dung in the LRC

Very nice shot. Different light. The color is almost desaturated. I like the large view and would love to see it it a large print size.
Cheers
