Red Fox
Vulpes vulpes

Description - This small, doglike animal is rusty-red with white underparts, chin and throat. The ears are prominent and the tail is long and bushy with a white tip. Backs of the ears, lower legs and the feet are black. The fox goes through colour phases of black, silver, and mixed.


Distribution - The red fox prefers the edges of forests, tilled fields and near marshes but they can be found on farmland, beaches, prairies, woodlands and both alpine and arctic tundra. They thrive throughout most of British Columbia.


Biology - After a 51-53 day gestation period, up to 10 kits are born. Because of its well-developed sense of hearing, sight, and smell the red fox is an efficient and lethal predator; being an omnivore it eats whatever is available including corn, berries, apples, grasses, birds and mammals. The fox has many enemies including coyote, lynx, and humans. It is also susceptible to rabies.

I took this photo at the Yellow River Game Ranch. It's a great place to meet animals up close and in person. This little guy surprised me as I came around a corner.

Very nice portrait shot Alli, great sharpness, colours and POV/DOF, well captured too. This is a great composition. Thanks for sharing.

Nice, close photo of this lovely animal, Alli! I like the clarity of the image, and how you've focused on the eyes. Nice work!

Hi,
Beautiful eyes, composition and colours!

Hi Alli,
An excellent shot on this red fox. Exposure looks great! Beautiful colors in this nice soft light. Detail looks superb. I like the frame filling full body shot. Great direct eye contact.
Scott

Very nice. I increased the contrast with just a touch of the midtone slider on the levels histogram in Photoshop. It really made Mr. Fox stand out more against the BG and brought a little more detail in the fur. The stare of the eyes became more intense too. TFS

Very nice shot of the fox. Great DOF and nice detail in the face. nice rich color.

Beautiful shot Alli!
Makes me ready to run my hand through his fur like a pet.
Love the eye contact he gave you!
Thanks,
Dave

Very sharp face with good eye contact Alli. Well composed with good light, color and details. I think a slight reduction in highlights would bring in more of the red color to the animals coat..Well done.
Thank You!

Hi Alli, we don't have foxes in NZ, so I am always interested to see them. He's quite a beauty. The colours of his legs look good against his reddish fur, and his eyes are so innocent! Good shot, TFS
Janice

Hello Alli, nice shot. I love the look he is giving. The colours are good I think the composition could be improved for a little more impact. I've done a WS - I hope you don't mind.
