Red fox

Yesterday I've spend a few hours with a red fox in our National nature reserve 'De Hoge Veluwe'. This fox has lost its natural fear for humans. Such a situation gives photographic opportunities that would likely be impossible in normal circumstances. To be honest, I felt a little weird during the 'shooting' session. On the one hand, the new photo opportunities are beautiful from a photographic perspective. On the other hand, I felt sad as a animal friend. Despite my mixed feelings I would like to share with you two pictures. A portrait of the fox in daylight and a wideangle shot of the fox in its landscape during night.
Have a great 2008!
Greetings,
Dirk-Jan
