Hi! TC> Well Boris,
TC> Thank you for your response... I guess what's special about it to me is... TC> How many times have you been able to get within five feet of a fox pup and TC> photograph it? Also this was a picture in the wild, not a shot made in a TC> controlled environment, or even with a blind. I was out of the car and TC> approaching the fox... having no control over what the fox was doing, or the TC> ability to pose it. I see. Tom, I can relate to what you just said. It is just that unless told so, I cannot read that on the photograph itself. TC> This was one of several which I liked... some were from totally different TC> angles, with probably better composition. What's special about this one is TC> that the fox is sticking out his tongue, at YOU. :) Oops, did not notice that <g>. My bad. TC> Actually that's what I like most about this shot... the tongue. And that it TC> demonstrates the curiosity they apparently have towards humans (and life in TC> general). I'm not typically a wildlife photographer, but the little I've TC> learned when shooting wildlife is that they're all basically snapshots, as TC> there may not be enough time for anything else before the opportunity is TC> lost. ANd this onw was a snapshot. Some may be better than others, but the TC> photographer is not really in total control of the situation. I had an TC> opportunity with a red fox about a year ago, perfect sitting pose, on a TC> green hillside in dappled sunlight... guess what? No camera. That keeps happening to me all the time. I mean not perfectly sitting foxes of course, but rather no camera events. TC> I appreciate what you say about becoming jaded or bored from seeing the same TC> thing, however I personally don't feel that a shot must be different, TC> unique, etc., to have merit. With the TC> millions/billions/trillions of shots TC> taken each year... it's hard to be unique... anyway... thanks for your TC> response. I did not mean to offend you in any way. Perhaps I should have read more carefully the story that you originally attached to the shot. I am just in this rather unpleasant stage that very little can be of my liking. I suppose that once I said that (few times) you would be able to understand me probably a little better. Indeed, if I offended you, I apologize. Boris ([EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED])
