Wild Fox with Vole

Whilst out & about monitoring one of the Barn Owl sites I work, this Fox appeared with a Vole in its mouth, couldn't resist taking a few record shots before he or she dissapeared.

Taken close to dusk during Sping 2006.

D2X - 600mm AF-S F4
ISO 800, F4, 1/320sec
Using a vehicle as a hide

Thanks for looking

Very nice Vince - what a lovely sight to see!
I think I might tone down the saturation a bit, especially in the grass, but without trying it, I'm not sure!!

Hi Vincent
great capture and a wonderful experience.

Excellent shot - you made the most of the opportunity!

Just needs the green toning down a bit!

Hi Vincent, super situation, I'm all green of envy

Excellent Vince as mentioned tone it down abit and it will be a cracker

Hi Vince

Nits already mentioned - what a 'cracker' of an image!

I'm not crazy about foxes, but this is a very good grab shot. I do like the eye contact.

Difficult to tell, but probably a male......squarer type of head and broad between the eyes.

I've taken the liberty of toning down the saturation in the yellows and adjusted the levels ever so slightly.

Your other print's just been posted btw

Thanks for the above comments, I aways get the grass wrong lol, I must pay more attention around by my feet

All points taken & thanks

John, thanks for the mod, it does look a lot better Also thanks for a great service on the canvas printing, your a star

Hi Vincent

An excellent image, especially considering it is just a 'grab' shot and not really preplanned. No nits really, I'd be delighted with this shot.



cheers
