This is the first picture of a fox I did meet.
The picture may not be my best but so far at least I'm happy with it.

It happens twcie that the fox was so close, that I only could enjoy the moment (and I did) and put my 500mm aside because it was useless.

Please let me know what you think. I do have more picts on my website (also swimming, but to close)

700mm, 1/500sec, F5.6, Exp +1/3, ISO 100

Hi Tom,
great shot, I like the eye contact a lot.
good to see that you did not put the fox in the middle of the frame.
greetings from Innsbruck,

Hi Tom - the eye contact is great. I'd prefer a smoother background, but cant really complain.

Nice shot Tom, I checked out the website and liked the shots of the fox swimming with the prey in its mouth, shame it was so close would ahve made a stunning shot if you could have got it all in.
