Fox in the Dark

[Bill Jobes]

I photographed this mother red fox and kit in eastern Pennsylvania last April in the early pre-dawn twilight.

Non-photographers up at that hour would probably say,"It's dark!"

But we know better. :)

This was taken with the Canon 1Ds Mark III, Canon 500 mm with 1.4 TC.
ISO 1600
1/200
F/5.6

Critiques and comments always welcomed and appreciated!

[Bill Jobes]

Thanks Christopher !

I thought it was interesting how the colours are rendered when there is very little light.

[Steve Berkowitz]

The depth of field is just right and you captured a great moment. Steve

Nice moment captured here! I'd run some NR on the BG.

Bill,
Nice moment captured. I love the interaction. The vixen is vigilant and the composition is nice. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

I love the painterly look and mood of this one. I'd run some more NR. well done!

[Bill Jobes]

Thanks, everyone for the generous comments!

Your suggestions on more NR are well-advised, and I'll do that for sure.
