Good shot Eyal, nice composition, good earthy colours and interesting note.
Well caught!

I like the attentive pose just on the edge of this earth pile. Seems like he's just coming out of a protected place to find some sunshine. Low placed sunlight is an asset to put this critter in evidence. The neck is a bit overexposed, but this is easy to correct in PS. Interesting contribution, Eyal.

TFS.

Nice pose, composition and sharpness. Interesting light effect.

Hi Eyal
I always like your pics, because I nearly always see something not so common. Don't get me wrong, I love ellies, lion etc, but the small things really facinate me, because they are so difficult to see, firstly, and then to shoot.
I grew up where we often saw small things, but generally, they were running to get away from us humans. Therefore, getting the shot of this guy was already GOOD. I think the scan aggrevated the light on the neck. Keep them comming.
PS one of these day, I will post "our" fox - we have only one true fox in SA.
