I know I've said it before, but this shot exemplifies everything that "is" photography. Absolutely perfect. Breathtaking. I can actually "feel" the fox's racing emotions and cold nose.
Post actions
A new favorite. This is amazing.
Post actions
An instant favorite, excellent!!!!
Post actions
this is a wonderful photo , didn't vote on the challenge but most certainly would have given this a 10.
Post actions
Gorgeous color, and gorgeous texture and POV here!
Post actions
that sounds so exciting to get that close. Foxes lived in Missouri where I grew up, but I never saw one. Out here in New Mexico we have coyotes which are fascinating as well and also hard to get close to. People still shoot them here. sad but true
Post actions
Amazing photo and amazing high score! You are expert!
Post actions
This would definitely my all time FAVORITE photo at DPC.....

I know I have said how wonderful this image is but had to write another comment here.

Congrats on this beyond 8 image!!! The textures and lighting are amazing! Go Ontario Go!!!
Post actions
Excellent! Congrats, well deserved.
Post actions
Gor-or-or-or-geous! CONGRATS!!!!! (and a little side note to everyone who assumed that this was not in the wild and voted your assumption, I would like to suggest that we all please be careful not to do that. It's not fair to the photographer in any challenge. We have to trust that the photographer interprets the challenge as he or she sees fit and simply vote on the picture, not on the assumption. it's always dangerous to assume in any situation in life, because there's always a 50% chance that we will be wrong.)

This is such a great shot, cheers from your friends in Port Perry.

Zoo shot? I wonder if Hahn23 voted you low on his preceived DNMC. This should be voted as you see it. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU CAN SEE A BACKGROUND!

WOW. You really deserved this ribbon. Nice job, how wonderful.
Post actions
Look how many favorites here Susan, (71 to date) and gee, I think you should have this one accepted as a DPC Print.
Post actions
Honestly, who doesn't love foxes (except some grumpy farmers). This one, obviously, is very nice. The angle is a little bizarre though. Amazingly, I think this could have been a touch better with a better vantage point...
Post actions
Congrats on the ribbon! The lighting makes this one jump out at me!
Post actions
Post actions
I love this shot and I am glad that you got the blue! I love the wonderful expression of this fox. The lighting is fantastic and the detail and sharpness are just great!

Post actions
I just have to jump in here and say thank you again, I can't believe these comments they are so amazing and I appreciate everyone of them! It was a freezing cold day when I got this shot and the hours spent in the cold were definately all worth it. A Big thanks to all again!!

Really an amazing shot, highly deserving of the blue ribbon. Excellent detail and lighting! What's even more amazing is seeing what lens you used and how close you must've been to the usually very skittish subject! I would've guessed you were using at least a 300mm prime lens to get so close with such outstanding detail. Very nice work, congratulations!
Post actions
Congrats Sue.. very well-deserved win for you!!
