That's hysterical ;-) I saw one the other day who would invariably come up from a dive, swallow, and waggle her little tail. Quite funny to watch.

Oooh, a Grey Fox! I've only seen Red Foxes around here, though there may well be Grey ones lurking about. Amazing how well some of these guys adapt to suburban life. I love him standing so confidently on someone's lawn ;-)

Bold fella' looking right at you like that! Apparently you were intruding on his space.

Well, coyotes are my most weary subject. They are very 'wild' still.
I find the only friendly ones have mange. Of course, they make less pretty pictures.

This guy clearly has his summer coat on and it looks healthy, now I have been told in a class by moose peterson that you should only photograph animals when they look their best. Personally I photograph them whenever I see them which is never enough! Any way I would like the image a little darker. I find the dirt in foreground a bit too bright/distracting. I would also like to try it cropped a bit more on the bottom and on the left of him. I love the eye contact tho, and the green background helps him stand out in the image.
Nice capture.

(clearly i need to spend more time in NC you have foxes and coyotes roaming around close to people!)

Very beautiful! He's got such a cute little face... doesn't seem to go with the rest of his body. Nice details.

What kind of fox is that?
Nicely done, it looks like it is in the hood, but I like the line of the grass leads your eye to the fox. He is nice and sharp, stands out from his background.
I would be tempted to crop it a bit more off the top and left? Just so he is closer.
I sure wish I had such cooperative animals at my place!
Well done
