Well captured Edwin :smile:
The portrait format was a great idea.
Well done.

Can believe Edwin this has only had two comments to date?

Good placement in frame (as expected), with some nice soft light, giving great colour on Mr Fox. It really does show off the thick fur at this time of year extremely well. As Julian said, nice to see him peering round the corner, but he has that engaging quality with those eyes. Personally I might have toned down the highlight right on his head :biggrin:

Nice one Ed :toast: :toast:

That's certainly one hell of a serious stare he's giving you Ed :biggrin:

Nice image, pleasing to the eye; more so with a smidgen of anti clock rotation just to put the eyes level.
