Gray Fox
Another image of the Female Gray Fox that comes through our place almost every evening. I liked the soft light in this image. She just got inside the tree line and was in some light shade.

Hope you enjoyed and as always C&C welcomed and encouraged.

Great low eye level contact here Jason, in very nice soft light with good BG.
Is this your backyard?

Very sweet. I even like the yellow tinker bells in the BKGR. Lightening the right side of the face and eye would improve this a bit. Love the light. A scrolling crop revealed that it would be stronger with a decent amount off the bottom.

Excellent Jason Agree with the little bit of the bottom but would eliminate the one oof yellow highlight form the bg on right side, my eye keeps going in that are !!
Great low angle and direct look !!
Thanks Art for the critique. Here is a revised crop with some taken of the bottom. I also lilghtened up the side of her face and eye just a bit. I was a bit concerned with the bg due to the "tinker bells". I have mixed feelings about them, but for now...I am on the side of leaving them.Originally Posted by Arthur Morris

Marc this is the backyard of my parents place. My family, whether it be my parents, or one of my brothers, or an Aunt, and even me, we all own/owned property along this same ridge line. For the past 70 plus years, Fox's have made their den/dens under one of the 3 log cabins on my Great Aunts place. The oldest cabin dates to 1870's...which my Great Aunt used up until about 3 years ago to house her 100 year old looms. She was OLD SCHOOL all the way. She still cooked on a cast iron wood stove in her 3 room log cabin. Sadly...cancer took her from us this spring.
Anyway...the Fox's travel up through some woods to my parents place to hunt. They continue on down the ridge to a small place that has a chicken house (its well built) as to this day, they have never got a chicken, but they sure do walk around the fence looking in!

What a marvelous image the repost is even better, I might still look into darkening the light patches in the BG. BTW what are tinker bells?
These foxes are very beautiful with their collar of red hair which you have captured so well. Love the posing and DOF. Very pleasing to the eye.
She is a beauty. Very nice comp and details.
Repost is super. Nice to see a grey fox - seems like the red fox images are ten times more common.
Really like the alert pose and stare you've captured. I think cropping some from the bottom works really well.
