What i love about being outdoors photographing nature.Is the
oppertunities that just happen to present themselves.
I was out taking pics of waterfowl in my blind in late september and
totaly unaware that this old sly fox was watching me.
As i was leaving the blind i noticed him peering at me from within a
fallen tree trunk.As quick as a flash he/she was gone.....
Have a great Furry Friday

That is possibly the cleanest fox I've ever seen! London foxes are so scruffy and mangy!
usa.paul (55 months ago | reply)
Perfect! I'm so impressed that you are able to frame the shot, adjust the shutter speed/aperture, and focus the camera as quickly as you are able. My shot would have been too blurry or too dark/bright.

Fantastic light -- wonderful capture!

Fabulous, Chris! Feel free to delete my note if you wish, it's simply my opinion of the heart of this wonderful image. The intensity of the fox's gaze and the 'eyebrow' scowl really make this another fine job!

a shot to be very proud of.

Amazing picture with great exposure.
I agree with Dean F. I love the way he stares and comes out from the shady place.
The detail in your pictures is fantastic.
National Geographic quality, I would say... ;)
