Photographed this red fox this morning. Decided to take the day off work,

Thanks for looking.

Good and sharp. Love the tongue action. Would like more at bottom to see feet if you have it. For my taste maybe drop the brightness a notch. I still need to add the fox to my files. Well done. TFS

Dan, a nice sharp image with good eye contact.

[Martin Wallis]

Great detail & sharpness as mentioned. Exposure too.

Advertisers would love to have this image Dan, well done. Lovely subdued lighting, colour and detail, with the licking lips well portrayed.

All be said above Dan, nice one.:) Would agree with Todd, would like to have had the feet in on this one. ;)

The eyes and tongue make this image special. A bit less bright would help.

What a lovely way to spend the day off work, coming home with such a lovely image.

Great work. Agree that with feet would improve further but the tongue, eye catchlight and overall facial expression makes this one stand out from the crowd.

Thanks so much for the comments! I actually wanted the feet out of the image. I thought it placed more emphasis on the face.

I'd take the rest of the week off after I made this image!

Hi Dan,

Great image. I like the eye contact, good light and great background.

Was this image acquired in the Wheatridge greenbelt? I went a week ago and for the first time ever did not see a single fox, although I did find 4 sets of fresh tracks in the snow. The fox population has been in decline the last couple of years (too many coyotes).

Thanks for the comments. Roger, this was in the greenbelt area. I saw only one fox there. This one ususally hangs out near the east end.

I just love these foxes. You captured this expertly Dan. Stunning portrait.
