Our local fox was relaxing in my back yard/field and was patient enough to let me get some shots. 50 yards or so was plenty close for him, so I had to really crop down. These are almost full size images.

Canon 20D, Tamron 200-500 @ 500mm

Thanks. You guys are generous! I just pulled up the post on my laptop while traveling. The 'watercolor' effect is much more prominent that what I saw at home. It's growing on me but wasn't intentional. :redface: It's more the result of oversharpening and really cropping down. Still I like the pose, so maybe the painternly effect will work.

I'm still striving to get the kind of shots that Dan does. Guess there's a reason some of us shoot mountains!
