Friendly Red Fox.

[Daniel Cadieux]

This is the same individual that Stephen Stephen posted a couple of days ago. Such a friendly guy. To see him first thing upon arriving at the Algonquin Park visitor center was a great bonus for sure, and to have him walk up to us was an unexpected surprise! A few times we had to back up to fit him properly in the frame. It offered us about 5 minutes, and then suddenly retreated.

Canon 40D + 100-400L @320mm, aperture priority, evaluative metering, 1/320s., f/6.3, ISO 640, +1 EC, natural light, handheld, full-frame. Selectively dodged the white chest fur, cleaned up a bit of debris on the chin, and eliminated a thin dark tree trunk in URC.

This is really good Daniel. Lucky you. I love the shallow DOF here.

What a find Love the sweet face and expression, might take a bit form the left side? ..... Not bad for a Bird Moderator Daniel :)

Very nice Daniel,

Great DOF expression and tones in the BKGR. Good PP work as well.

I agree with some off the LHS.

Great capture here Dan. It was certainly a morning to remember. It looks as if I got his attention at that moment. Most of my images show his eyes focused on you. :)

Beautiful fox Daniel. Nice sharpness and exposure. Agree with taking a bit off the rhs. TFS
