[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) was hunting voles in the snow. The food shortage due to late snow forced the foxes out of the forests. During daylight hours I saw foxes hunting at several locations. This is quite unusual in this part of Europe. This fox walked around with nearly closed eyes to protect them from the bright light that bounced of the snow.

Hi Paul

A beautiful portrait, I like the way he is posing while he is checking you out and I can see what you mean about him closing his eyes because of the bright white snow, the detail is excellent and the colours are lovely.

A stunning shot of this beautiful creature in her natural environment.
The exposure is great, and you had a lot going against you what with the bright sun and snow.
A lovely composition, thanks for sharing.

Ciao Paul,
bella questa foto di volpe, ottimi i dettagli e colori belli, bravo!

Very beautiful composition, Paul.
I really like the pose of the fox, that you captured with sharp details and just the perfect exposure. Very well cone, considering the snow on the ground. Great expression and perfect DOF.
TFS. : )

This shot is a perfect glimpse of late winter in the continental forests of Europe! Wild is good!

Great low-down POV and good composition.

Hi Paul,
An excellent photo of this beautiful animal. I like the space around the fax as much as the fox it self. It tells a lot about its habitat. Great DOF, colors and sharpness.

Hi Paul

Great work you have done here. Really good composition, good depth of colour and nice to view. :-)

Paul
Très bonne image de ce magnifique renard. Tu pourrais peut être recadrer en supprimant une partie du bas de la photo qui n'apporte pas grand chose et n'est pas très net?
Amicalement

Ha Paul,

Schitterende natuurlijke opname van deze vos. Zo te zien sta (of lig) je op ooghoogte. Waar heb je deze foto genomen?
TFS.

groet,
Zeno.

I did not know this was possible in Belgium.
Great work..

Dat je dit in België kon fotograferen, is eigenlijk ongelooflijk he! In welke omgeving nam je deze foto?
