Having a scratch

Red Fox Cub (Vulpes vulpes)
Sometimes its nice to get shots of your subject doing something other than looking down your lens.
I was glad when this youngster sat down and started to have a good scratch and looking away from the camera,whilst not always of commercial interest its nice to capture a good range of behavioural shots that might otherwise be missed!
By the look on his face I think he hit the spot!

Nikon D3,500F4 AFS2,IS0400,1/250 F5.6,Beanbag,baghide,same old dirty clothes.

Cheers

Another lovely image.

very nice. Ideally I would have like to have seen a bit more of the fox's hind leg and body so that it was a bit more obvious what it was doing, but still very nice as is. A nice natural setting too.

Hi Craig, nice picture, I would have loved to see the foxe a bit more .....come on get the strimer out
Best wishes
Frederic

I tend to agree with Frederic re the strimmer, but its a very nice shot as it is, slightly more Fox cub and a bit less veg would have been perfect!

Very funny-looks like his eyes are going to pop out of his head, Maybe a slightly higher view point,i.e low tripod rather than a beanbag, I am having similar problems and have to shuffle on the ground to tread the tall grass down-but theres always one that pops up and gets in the way

Hi Craig,

Great expression! Lovely capture!

Good capture and I agree with previous comments re foliage, but as you say, fine behavioural picture.

Its another beauty Craig!

Nicely done

Alan

Look at those eye balls
I think he scratched the wrong place.
Nice image. I too would like to see it from a more higher level. But I really wished it was mine.
Well done.

Great shot, agree with Edwin re a tad higher. Wish I had been told about my foxes when they were this size!

Love the expression on the cub's face!
