Home in the Rocks

I'm sure several people here have heard about or seen this scene in person. This fox has been denning in this location all winter. I personally drove through this location dozens of time before I found the fox where I heard it was denning. The fox mostly sleeps there so it was a challenge to get a frame with his eyes open.

Canon 5D3, EF 600mm F/4 II, Gitzo tripod
1/90s, F/8, ISO 400, full frame.

Cheers,

Hisham.

Really like the framing here with the colorful rocks in the foreground.

Absolutely top shelf stuff, Hisham. A Yellowstone fox I presume from your comments and the geological characteristics here? Excellent choices for comp and overall techs.

It took me a while to see it as well. Glad you chose to try a vertical composition here.

Cool setting! I would consider a crop off bottom to make the diagonals in the rock seams go corner to corner of the frame.
