Red Foxes and the First Snow of the Season

[SinglePic not found]

Denver (finally) had its first appreciable snowfall of the year on Friday night, which meant that Saturday was a very good day for fox photography.  As you will see, the foxes really “pop” against a snowy background, and the snow makes it much easier to simplify the fox images and minimize the visual clutter of their brushy habitat.  Here are a few of the best images from this morning, plus a duck photo for good measure:

The mist was rising off of the creek for this duck image. I have a difficult time capturing mist in a tight photo like this — it often just looks like the image lacks contrast. This image works better than most.
