Chuffed...
40D, 300/4 + 1.4, A-327 + BH1.
ISO400, 1/500 @ f6.3.
C1 v4 + resize & sharpen CS3.

Hi,

A little bit of background, Living in the centre of the largest collection of towns in the south east and working in London, I leave for work early, ofen not returning home till late, I do not get the opportunity really to research and follow up a potential site.

I was therefore very chuffed having been on leave for the week and walking around Ranscombe Farm, just outside the Medway Towns, for the last few mornings and observing a couple of Foxes, I set up early this morning in a ditch :eek: and was rewarded with a number of usable images....

All the best

Phil

Hi Phil,

Well done !! Really like the composition on this. Maybe needs a slight lift in levels and a little more USM.

Regards

Chuffed-you should be-lovely deep adult red fox-good condition and with beautiful eyes-very nice indeed-maybe you should take more time off

Great work Phil, the only fox I have managed recently was so very small in the frame even at 600mm :rolleyes: . The eye contact here and composition is spot on. :toast: :toast:

Look forward to catching up soon.

Kind regards,

Brett.

And so you should be. Lovely fox portrait. I really good looking fox. Most of mine have gone mangey. Also love the alert look and posture of the fox. The white balance looks a little warm to me, but that's a very subjective nit.
