Latest of Andy's antics was trying to shoo a dog off the area .The dog showed his distain by peeing all over his 500mm . I think it was a nikonese :biggrin:

Hi Mark,

It's a nice shot, but my personal taste would like the mush to start below his feet, as is, he looks a bit cut off. Also feel it could be lightened a little, as posted looks a tad dark.

Regards

Rob

In B&W it would look as though it was walking in mist, IMO. An excellent image,

A well composed image and I like the way the out of focus surroundings are isolating the fox here. :cool:

Hi Mark,

Your last Vixen image is the best in the series IMHO. To my mind the mush conveys a kind of secretive / hidden message that the subject is unaware of your presence. The Vixen peeping around the tree in your last post complemented that message perfectly of being hidden / hard to see.

This image shows the fox apparently out in the open so the mush is not complementing that feeling.

Again, only my opinion and I hope you take the feedback in the manner it is intended.

Cheers

Austin

Another very fine capture Mark, has to be one of the finest series of fox shots we have seen on UKNP.

Hello Mark.

Another fine shot that works really well, the composition is spot on and the detail on the fox is very nice.

Another stunner. I like the mush in this one as the face is clear but it gives the overall image a hint of mystery. :wavey: :toast:
