This is an image of my young son Tom and a fox that lives in my wifes parents garden and he is also called Tom. I have been working with these Foxes on and off for the past few months for a project called 20/20 vision (Mods I will delete this bit if it is against the rules) I have wanted to show some kind of human interaction between foxes and us, especially after the bad press urban foxes have been getting. Anyway I thought I would share this picture of my little family.

Nice to see the interaction in this image. And as states hopefully help repair the foxes reputation,

A lovely picture Danny, ticks all the boxes for me.

Danny, it so good to see interaction like this. I was lucky to have a similar experience earlier in the year with a badger cub from one of my local setts. Unfortunately, it disappered before my nieces could get to see it. Andrew

A lovely moment, especially after the bad press with the fox incident

I was wondering who would be the first to say it. It is a good job he takes after his mum as I was hit round the head a few times with the ugly stick

I think its a wonderful image and one of those moments money can't buy.
I presume it was your son who signed the model release. If it's the fox can I be his agent

I agree that Foxes have had a lot of bad press lately Danny, and this photo does some justice to them. Wish I had these visiting my garden! On a lighter note, that sky is burned out, never!
Regards, as always,
Paul Rosser.

jealous they come to the garden. Too many private estates around here that the population seems to be non existent.
Nicely captured Danny. A "mini me" or what I still have 1 or 2 foxes coming to my garden every night (rural foxes) but cannot get them here in daylight unfortunately.

Now if all wildlife would do this we wouldn't need all these whopping great lenses
A lovely interaction Danny.
Well captured.

Its a nice interaction shot...looks like you need an ND Grad soft (2 stop) to hold that sky back a bit?
Love it Danny... shame about the sky but that is only minor... the interaction is simply fantastic..... certainly hope images like this can go a long way in undoing the recent poor publicity for these wonderful creatures...
I really like the fox's expression in this though I'm not sure about the thing that the fox is staring at. It seems to resemble a small turd dressed up as waiter, it really is a very peculiar thing! I'd suggest cropping it out of the image altogether (you bloody cheating swine!) and then perhaps asking it for the dessert menu!
Seriously though, can you tell your son, my tormentor-in-chief, that my name is Andy, that's Andy, with an A!!!!
Last thing Dan, this is a comma, comma this is Danny. It's just that I don't think you've ever met!!

Well done Danny. He's growing fast. Love the interaction. I'm sure Tom had a blast.

Its a belter.
Tom gets more and more handsome by the week. He'll break a few hearts as he gets older .
