Photographed this fox last week in Wheat Ridge. Been pretty busy at work, so I have not been shooting as much as I would like. Thanks for looking.

Your ability to photograph wildlife never ceases to impress me, Dan. I'd be lucky just to see something like this let alone have a camera handy. Nice shot!

Great image and pose, Dan. You may want to use the healing brush to make the highlights in the background match the darker areas. That will keep our eyes on the animal. Nice!

Thanks for the comments! Good point Dave, thanks.

Love that intense gaze! My only nit is that it seems too centered to me. I'd maybe crop some of the oof snow from the bottom and put the fox lower in the scene.

I love the angle & eye contact. Very nice.

Where in Wheat Ridge, if you don't mind me asking? I've been trying to get shots of some of the local foxes & coyotes here in Lakewood & Wheat Ridge.

It is perfect. Don't change a thing.

Beautiful light on an inquisitive pose.

Great eye contact Dan. Was he eyeing a Milkbone? You get so many great shots of a critter I've rarely seen in the wild.
