Hi Tony,

Beautiful! Love that eye contact and the exposure looks good. Nice detail in those whites.

Nice one Tony... kept this quiet you sly old Fox :wink: you...

Only nit for me is the brightness of the fallen branch in the foreground which draws my eye somewhat.

Was this one of 'those' hides?,

All the best & speak soon

Nice shot Tony.
Perhaps a little ccw rotation? You could tone down the branch with a little selective levels.
Overall though a great fox portrait.

Good pose of the fox. Curious and sharp. My only nit would be those branches as Phil mentioned. Jsut tone them down a bit and it will look even better.

Hi Phil

I didnt keep it quiet, I didnt know about them until I was 500 yards from home on Sat after Marden Meadow. Stopped to talk with the landowner, permission gained, hide erected, shots taken........ :toast: :toast:

Lovely portrait of this curious fella. Always seems to be too many dogs out in the area locally until its gone too dark to shoot :frown:

Yes good one - and the rotation and twig brightness reduction down would help.

Hi Tony loved the print when I saw it on Sunday and still like it now, although from what I remember about the print it did look slightly better. Mind you what would I know. :jump:
