First I will thank you all for the nice comments and words of my previous post.
I’m sorry that I’m not here so often that I want too many it will be a change later.

Early this morning when I was out for Corn Crake, aquite rare bird up here but instead I got a quite decent portrait of a young Red fox. He was very close but he was not interested of me, he had his attention on the song from the Corn Crake who was just a couple of meters away from me. Maybe the next time I got the bird.

The Red fox have been quite common again after a lot of years with very reduced strain because of the
Fox scabies. It’s great to see a lot of healthy Foxes again. I hope you like it.

Excellent shot, the wet fur really adds alot to this shot Gert and the early morning light is beautiful. Excellent composition and colours too, thanks for sharing this with us. He is a very healthy looking Fox :o)

Hallo Gert
This is just an excellent portrait of this beautiful red fox. I can only repeat. It is just excellent, and indeed a beauty. The eyes are captivating and fascinating. I love this close up. I wonder what is going through his mind because it seems as if he is scrutinizing you as much as you were watching him. Great clarity, nice point of view and the composition is great because of all the visible and clear details. His whiskers are really an eye-catcher, and it feels as if I can reach out and touch his fur. A delightful image. Thanks for this delightful contribution. I have added it to my list of favourites.
Kind regards
Anna

Hej Gert,
A fine close portrait of a young Red Fox, a fine individual that must have got wet in the long vegetation where the Corn crake was hiding. Excellent lighting sharpness and composition.
It would be fantastic to take a shot of the Corn Crake - I hope you succeed!
TFS,
Hälsningar,
Ivan

Jag hör av mig när jag är tillbaka från fjällen. Med lite tur blir det fint väder på Fjärilsvägen!

Simply brilliant in every aspect portrait of the fine young fox. I am amazed with sharpness, great DOF (aperture value is selected precisely), fantastic reproduction of fox hair and other charming details and features of the beautiful animal. Bravo.

Hi Gert. Firstly is this the NEW sigma just out that you are using if so how are you liking it. New lens or not this is fantastic. I just loe the pose with the stare in the eyes. The light must have been just right it has given warm colours. Your sharp focusing is first class. A great picture all round. TFS.
Nick..
Have a nice weekend.

Hi Gert,

A decent portrait? It is a superb portrait. He looks more real than any picture has a right to look. I love the eyes, the nose, the ears, the whiskers, and the wet fur. Marvelous pov and composition.

Hello Gert!

Fantastic capture, old friend! It looks like Luc's work [remember his Lady in Red?]. Great pose and face, brave eyes. Beautifull animal.

I just wrote to Ulla that this year you Swedes stole all our butterflies :-) No sign of them around Lodz...

Hi Gert, what awesome capture of this beautiful faced Young Red Fox my friend! Its facial expression is wonderful. TFS this beauty. Have a nice Sunday!
Cheers,

Hi Gert,
well this is a beautiful capture if there ever was one,what an excellent looking young fox.Foxes are certainly one of natures more attractive creatures and your photo proves what I say so very well.The colour,detail and the pose are all excellent and even wet the fox looks very dignified.I believe that even with your 500mm lens,you must of been fairly close to this wonderful creature as the finer details really do shine.Thank you kind sir, for giving us all this view of such a lovely creature. Bob

Excellent POV, beautiful young red fox composition, Gert. The lights are wonderful and this fox was so detail.
Best wishes,
Bima

Hello Gert,

WOW!!! What a wonderful closeup of this red fox!!!! Details on the fur are so impressing and take a look at his so clever look!!! Nice bg also showing us his environnement...

Great job and TFS!

Michel

Wow! Stunning photo, here. Excellent illunination from the sun, texture of the fur (especially the matted, wet fur in parts), and his bright, curious eyes. His gaze is intense, as if there is something he must do or have. And the colors...vivid and eye-catching.

Wonderful portrait of this clever fellow. Sharp and neat, well done.
Wishes, Diana
