Nice shot Dan! These little buggers are fun to shoot I do wish that you left more room on the left... but its still great the way it is.
Timothy:
Now Im convinced you have a trained fox... Another great shot... Just how do you find these???
Not sure where Dan shot this one at but there is Prospect Park in the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt Open Space that has many foxes that live in/around the bike path. Unfortunately due to Human Feeding they are not shy to humans. Many foxes go within a few feet of people and can be seen daily. Usually there are at least a few photographers around and even some that I have seen feeding them to get a better shot...... anyway, if you want to know where they are heres a MAP. From the parking lot south of Prospect Lake take the bike path over Clear Creek and go west. You'll soon be surrouded by them....Just don't feed them anymore They are fat enough from the hot dogs and biscuits

Yes, the snow on the nose is a wonderful touch.

Thanks for the compliments! I did photograph this at Prospect Park. Unfortunately, alot of people do feed them. They are, however, really starting to crack down on people doing this. One guy last week told me he saw about five photographers feeding them to get a better shot, which I, personally, do not agree with. I suppose this topic could be a whole new thread! Because less people are feeding them, they do seem a little more skittish.

Beautiful work, Dan. I agree about wanting for more room on the left, but this holds up very well regardless. I'd probably clone out the fleck of snow on the coat, just to the left of the nose - I think that would make the snow on the nose stand out more.
It's a great shot/moment, except you needed a 400mm instead of the 500. I would suggest ba tighter (vertical) crop behind the shoulder to save the image.

Another sweet shot! I'm going to have to visit that place, are afternoons better than mornings for light?
