Mountain Fox (again)

[Fabs Forns]

This is the female, note that Mountain Foxes are lighter than Red Foxes, even though they are a sub-species of the Red. She is no longer with us because a wrangler shot her while she defended her pups. Tough world and weird civilization. This is from my first trip with Dale, still using Nikon.

Model: NIKON D300
Lens (mm): 500
ISO: 500
Aperture: 4
Shutter: 1/640

Lovely Fabs

A nice overall soft feel to the image yet sharp eyes to draw in the viewer.

A great moment very well recorded.

I might try cutting a little of the brighter section off the bottom but making sure there is still enough for the "virtual legs".

Sad story, beautiful shot Fabs. I didn't know about the coats being lighter. Like the snow on the nose. Maybe she was hunting for voles or mice:)

[Marc Mol]

You've captured a great look from mum here Fabs, good position in the frame with the curved tail and eye contact, VWD.

Incredible colour and pose, very sad story!

The color balance/WB of this image is amazing Fabs, so is the exposure. Feel so sad for the fox :( BTW where was this that you can shoot a wild fox and walk away?

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Unfortunate. Sad to hear that this fox was shot. A slight crop from the bottom would be even better. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

[DanielTMiller]

Sad to hear she was shot, not the first time I've heard about a fox being shot an I just don't understand why anyone would want to.

Great shot though, beautiful colours and pose.

[D. Robert Franz]

Sure miss her... Maybe a bit more color saturation and contrast here.. Love the pose!

Love the alert stance of the fox and the eye contact. Like the snow on the nose as well.
