Young Male Red Fox Finally Starting To Trust Me Again

After the river froze and he moved to the other side, there was about 6 weeks that I didn't see him.

Then about 3 weeks ago he started showing up, only to spook and run back across the frozen river.

After, working so hard to gain his trust last summer and fall, I was feeling a bit bummed out about him running off the minute he saw me.

So, when he paused after crossing to my side, I took this shot.

It was very early morning.

Still pretty dark out.

But, sometimes you just have to work with what's in front of you.

While not near as good as I was hoping to get, it will have to do, till he starts trusting me again and I can work closer in better light.

In the mean time I will keep trying to improve on this shot.

Hope you like it.

He is a pretty fox.

Camera Settings: f/8 - 1/320 - 500mm - ISO 2500
