About This Image
We were in Yellowstone National Park driving the northern tier when we saw this red fox near Floating Island Pond. He was quite engrossed in his hunting and I managed to get a couple photos. It was quite fun to watch him slowly move through the snow, pausing and listening every so often.
Feedback Requested
I would appreciate any thoughts on the composition and mood of the photo. Any recommendations regarding the lighting, color and framing are always welcome. Thanks.
Oh! This is a cracker ! I think you have handled the snow and the fox’s fur very well. The background is nice and gives a little context to his environment.
Lighting is great, colour and framing spot on. No nits from me.
Excellent capture Timothy, it does indeed show the determination and fight for survival of a wild fox.
I really like the way my eye is naturally drawn to the dark on the front paws against the lighter foreground and how the darker area of snow on the top half leads my eye back down to the fox. As other have pointed out, you did an excellent job of processing to capture the colors and texture of the fox’s coat.
Very nice composition, Tim. Beautiful contrast between the snow and the fox. Excellent balance of the light with the bright snow, with nice exposure compensation. I love the forward motion of the fox and the slight dead space of the foreground, giving you a good depth of field perspective. The background has a nice bokeh to it which brings the fox into full sharp view.
I like the shadow in the snow to the right of the fox with the use of side lighting. You even captured the snow getting kicked up by the movement! You can feel the intenseness of the “hunt.”
