Backlit Red Fox with prey
Hi Guys,

Been a while due to health issues and the birth of our second son in April but...i am working again...
Or at least try to in between changing dipers... :jump:

I have been working on some Red Foxes lately and last night i was able to photograph Mum on her way back to the den with a juicy Greylag Goose.

Furthermore for those of you who are interested...
I have a new website online (the old adres: http://www.jeroenstel.com) so drop me a line to tell me what you think!

greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Good to see you back Jeroen,
I like this a lot. My only nit is that the light appears a little harsh.

Great photo Jeroen, I quite like the light; it's not what I'd usually expect.

Just had a quick look at your website, absolutely brilliant!

Thanks for sharing,

Craig

Good that you're back on form.

You had everything except the light (of the right sort, in my opinion). Shame and isn't your fault. It's a very good behavioural shot nonetheless. I can imagine it'd be a stunning shot otherwise. Keep up the good work.

Love the new website, looks and feels great. Pics not bad either! :wink: :wink: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Cheers,

Des :toast:

Good behaviour shot Jeroen. Fox's eyes caught nicely. Glad to see you back. :wavey:

This is a superb shot J. As for the light well the light is the light and you have captured it perfectly. It captures that time in early summer when the sun comes on full strong and nature is at it's most abundant. The time when, those that care to look, enjoy a momentary glimpse of the beauty surrounding us.
