Wise eyes and face. Pleasant and cute fox. Great portrait Luc. And you are right - photography teach us patience.

I hope you didn't dance with her "cheek to cheek" like in this song ;-) It would be a little dangerouse!

Great portrait! Very well done!

She is beautiful Luc, and her eyes show such trust. Such a wonderful shot of her. Please keep on showing her. Well done...
For interest I would like to know, can foxes be tamed as a pet?

Je ne me lasserai jamais de vos photos de ce superbe animal, aussi beau qu'intelligent. Très belle expression rehaussée par un excellent cadrage. La petite nuance de bleu dans l'arrière-plan rehausse encore ce beau portrait. Une très belle photo pour enrichir le thème des canidés. Merci Luc!

Photography often gives the viewer an insight to the very soul of that which it has captured, as well as that which is doing the capturing. And sometimes, if we look beyond the surface, we can see the reflections of our own emotions throughout. I believe this to be the case here. In getting to know one subject, it learns much about the one who studies it. A bond of trust and love grows a bridge between two creatures who come together for a short while, to just be what they are and to appreciate that otherness. There are many layers in life that must be peeled off one at a time to be seen and some may never take the time. But what is life if not a journey to be enjoyed in its entirety, not a race to the finish but an adventure to be explored... and all this from a photo. Thankyou Luc, for inspiring me to look below the surface.

My Friend
You keep the company of shady ladies! This is a face that invites a kiss, she is really a cute vixen! Nice eyes and portrait.
As a comment - IMO, I would like to see her wiskers uncropped, meaning the frame should have been just a wee bit larger to include them fully. At this scale and level of photography, it is important to look at the little things that will enhance the picture even more. Not meant as a critique at all, just an observation and something to what-out for.
And as you mentioned, the better you get to know the subject, the easier it becomes to anticipate its moves.
Well done on a beautiful canine, my Friend!

Lovely close-up Luc. Where do you get these shots? Are these animals wild, and if so how do you get so close? Excellent quality and composition. Well done.

What a beautiful potrait you got Luc. amazed again with your quality and better, your "naturality" (I dont know if that word exists). Nice warm colours and big subject, just how I like :)
I wont forgive you for not doing some framing to this one. Is too good to post nude. Thanks!

Hi Luc,

All your pictures I've seen so far are great. It would take me days to go through them all! But this is my favorite one of Luna. In her eyes you can almost see a whole other world reflected. Hypnotic. Stunning point of view. Great composition & focus. Thanks for sharing, & thanks (long overdue) for your kind words on my early post! Randy
