    Great wildlife capture John, so sharp and well lit.

  • John Hooton replied

    Thank you Paul. It is a bit heavily cropped so it won’t be making any posters, but I liked the composition like this.

    Great capture. Hunting mood is shown very well

  • John Hooton replied

    Thank you Loiteke. I would rather see a fox hunting than being hunted. Thank goodness that barbaric practice has now stopped. :-))
