Fox

Fighting with, trying to get some photos of, some Badgers at the moment. 1Month, 25KG of peanuts and 10kg of Honey later and they are still playing hard to get, so the current score line is definately in favour of the Badgers but that's Nature Photography for you.

This little fella was a fortunate find earlier in the year.

Tpod/300mm
400'/F3.2/250asa
Levels and a little USM

An excellent use of narrow dof eliminates what looks like it might be a distracting bg and concentrates attention upon those lovely eyes. :toast:

Great composition - the narrow depth of field really draws the eye to the foxes expression.

Nice shot tom, love the position

btw if you keep feeding to badgers so much you'll be able to get shots... they'll buy couches for your feeding station and be waiting for you :)

Super portrait of an attractive model Tom, really like the almost monotone bg that sets the fox of very well, perhaps a shade less sharpening? (on my monitor at least)
