Hello Yoram,
I'm not quite sure what is up here, but the capture is totally awesome!
Many year ago I remember foxes were after my grandmother's chicken, but that was the last time I heard of an encounter between bird and fox...
However this time I'm not so sure the fox will win!
Great work...
Greetings,

Hi Yoram,
This is a very great moment you have captured here. Ther must be something nice to eat around for them to be so close to each other.
Nice brown colours and blurred bg.

Amazing capture.
where in Israel you took this photo?
Aviad

An amazing capture with all around fantastic exposure. I love the action in this capture. :)

Hi Yoram

Awesome shot! Well timed, good POV woth clear and sharp details. :-)

Hello Yoram,
Again, this is a great action catch, wow! I like this exposure and low POV. Most of all, the action does this scene. The Fox seems so small compare to the bird! I like the light in the fox's eye. This is a great shot :) Thanks,
Claudine

What a scene! WOW!
Both actors are so ful of expression. That's great.
Encounter between those two sure doesn't happen much.
The note is somehow disapointing, as we all wonder what was up there. You must know. Were they querelling for a same piece of meat? Or was the fox attempting to prey the vulture ? Please explain more. I'm eager to know.

Very nice shot my friend well done

Hi Yoram,
This is one absolutely great photo! The photo does not show what they are fighting over, but obviously there is a piece of carcass, isn't there? The fox is too small to randomly attack the vulture.

Hi Yoram,
This is really a great photo!
A very sharp and expressive scene, that reminds me of a certain fable of La Fontaine... however, this time the end of the story remains unknown (at least for us) ;)
TFS,
Toni

That is one wonderful shot! The vulture is pretty scary, more than the fox.

Hello Yoram,
Awesome content...
What a moment!
Well done
