Fox

Another trip to the deer rut and they only roar from the bushes, but other residents are more bold.

The fox is a unique representative of the Canidae family. Beginning with the number of nipples, through the retractable claws to vertical pupils - all this in theory makes him closer to cats than wolfs.

Our meeting this morning lasted about ten minutes. He emerged from behind the bushes when I was going to sit down, so he found me half unprepared. The first few minutes passed by me moving a few centimeters, him looking towards me, a few seconds of pause, him looking away... and so on, dozens of times before I could comfortably watch, photograph and record him.

I feel this isn't our last meeting.

A very nice photo accompanied with a lively description of how you got this image. I think its a great photo, but i would consider removing the vertical lines that comes from the top of the picture. I guess these are three trunks, but they catch the eyes to easily.
Very good shot.

Great shot and i love the story behind it as well. I agree with Kjell though, crop down all the way to where the light grey begins...
Regards,
Mike
