The End

A shot from the last day of my final Yellowstone foray of the year. In the past I've had very little luck with mousing foxes, so it was nice to finally get one at close range. Unfortunately, it pounced at an angle, so I didn't land the classic profile view of the leaping predator. But the end result of the act was still pretty amusing.

Because the rear and tail work well as a graphic element, I chose the somewhat unconventional centered composition/crop for this one.

Conditions were very mild in the park the entire week during my trip. I would've preferred a cleaner canvas with about two more feet of snow on the ground, but temps were rather high (up to 63F one day!). Naturally, it really started dumping soon after I left, but it was still nice to fit in one last park trip this year.
