Lovely shot, Oscar. I really like the composition. The only minor nit is that the colours, seem sligthly oversaturated (at least on my monitor). But that's easy to adjust of course. :wavey:

Smart image Oscar, your placement of the fox in the frame looks good, agree with Sandra re the sats. He looks in good condition going by that bushy tail. Good work.

Rather soft, rather noisy, rather too much saturation (vibrance?) and the white chest of the fox has a cyan look to it. You are pushing the limits with your equipment and this time, I think you have just pushed it too far. The 200-400 is a great lens when the subjects are up-close, but at longer range, it isn't such a great performer.

I agree the quality is not there and the blues are a tad strong, still wish it was mine though.

A fox picture is always most welcome. Maybe worth seeing is the fox is regular and perhaps baiting etc... to get it closer would be a good project. But what do i know i couldnt find a pigeon in london :biggrin: :toast: :toast:

Hi Oscar,

An animal in fine condition - look at the size of that brush! I agree that it has a slight cyan cast, but I reckon there's a great potential project there!
