I have had a Red Fox from time-to-time, but they never stayed long - until this one. This is his second year hanging around, and he has a mate. They DO NOT play well with the Gray Foxes.

### Specific Feedback Requested

Any

### Technical Details

Is this a composite: No  
Canon 60D, Canon 70-300mm IS USM zoom, f/8, 1/2000 sec., ISO 1250, Av Mode, Hand Held. Processed in ACR and PSE 2020 for exposure, sharpness, NR, and color. Cloned a leaf and small branch out that was crossing over the fox.

I cropped this heavily and tightly in an effort to eliminate some of the busyness of tree branches in back of the fox.

Hi, Vanessa. Yes, I’m blessed with some reasonably abundant wildlife, which was my hope when I moved here. Thank you.

Beautiful subject and great eye contact.  
You may add some more overall canvas around the fox.

Beautiful shot. I like that he has nice light on his face to enhance those pretty eyes. Foxes give us such great eye contact. It does feel a bit tight but I understand the desire to cut down on the busy environment. Colors look great.

Hi, Terri. Thanks! Yeah, I don’t normally like to crop that tightly, but all a larger crop would have shown was more of that brush and limbs. But he was too beautiful not to post!
