Hello e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="25" height="20" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="437" title="Hi!"/>

so here We go e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="566" title="Bullet; Yellow"/> First of all, not bad photo quality.
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="566" title="Bullet; Yellow"/> I'm suprised how calm this fox looks here, he's just siting and watching You, like He's not afraid at all e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="387" title=" (Wink)"/>
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="566" title="Bullet; Yellow"/> I supose You used flash here ? Night photos are hard to take, so big bravo for You here, because colors still looks very good.
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="566" title="Bullet; Yellow"/> Only His eyes look little empty, if I may suggest something, You can fix them in some graphic program e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="566" title="Bullet; Yellow"/> You can also play with some filters, I don't know how exactly does this camera work, but every time when I'm taking photos at night, there is flash light at object, in this case at fox. After photo edition You can change this light a little bit and make photo more fluent.
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="566" title="Bullet; Yellow"/> Overall - nice capture e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="30" height="30" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="67" title="Sun"/>

The fox is actually a young cub, one of about 8 that were playing around the path in front of me.  I have fed the two young vixens with peanuts since they were cubs and they had brought their own cubs to join the feast.  

The cub sat to watch me taking photos, out in the open, moving slowly around them, it is amazing how trusting wild animals become with free meals

I was using the built in camera flash along with some lights from my vehicle parked nearby.

The eyes on a fox are dark as the pupil opens right up to let light in when it is dark, ordinary red eye reduction will not work on the eyes as the reflection is more of a green colour on a fox.

I will try the filter idea see if I can improve the image any further.

Thank you for all your comments

BTW your English is very good

Thank You so much for reply. It sounds very interesting
Times like this are great chanse to watch wild animals and also to take some new photos [it's not easy to take photos like this in big city].
Good idea with car light - I was wondering how this flash can be so delicate, now I know
Thats true - red eye reduction doesn't help to much, in my [subjective] opinion, it's better to play with contrast / light / colors / filters - it's more effective than reduction of red
By the way - if You're changing contrast or colors, sometimes You can fix also photo quality. Of course it doesn't work for all photos, but it doesn't hurt to try it from time to time, when We need it
I don't know if it'll help You [my comments], but I hope it will at least a bit

He was sat about six feet in front of me when I took the picture. I had several cubs running around playing while I sat taking photos.

It's such an amazing feeling when nature allows us an intimate look inside the beauty and lives of it's other creatures. Simple, but powerful. Thanks for sharing.
