Great shot.

Go ahead and play with the images. I would ask that when you post them on other sites (such as Flikr, Photobucket, etc.) that you credit my photography. I would do the same for you! Other than that, I'm E Z T D B W. |

| November 7, 2008 @ 9:04am | Hi Catherine,
What a great time for you to show up. And just how much more cooperative could this little fox have been?
I love the wispy hair on the fox and how it mimics the wispy plants around him/her. And, you could now have chosen a better color scheme -- the warm reds and golds of the fox and the cooler greens and blues of the blooms and the background.
Great moment and great colors!

I'm with Marti, what a gorgeous colour scheme. Really beautiful shot to my eye.
Great timing too.

I don't know if it would work but I think if you take the back ground and darken it it would pull the fox forward more. if your open to change. Very nice eye!
I looked for OZ behind the curtains only to find smoke and mirrors called life.

What a beautiful capture of the moment. I really like your composition and DOF. Just enough detail around the fox, and flowers and the soft focus to the background.
Really great job!

What a thrill it is to have a wild animal pose for you. I love the soft purply blue color in the background and then the little dots of purple in the flowers. It all came together.!

| November 10, 2008 @ 5:29pm | You and the fox must have been equally excited about spotting something that day. I like how unaware he is of you, captured in the middle of his foxy life. And I admire your presence of mind to make such a beautiful composition. I'm usually so thrilled by a good wildlife encounter that I lack the wherewithal to think photographically (or to hold my camera steady; I could do an album of blurry wildlife).
