Vulpes vulpes

I have always considered the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) to be one of the more good looking animals in nature. I found this guy unfortunately begging for food off of the Pike's Peak Highway this past summer. Still quite the looker!

Shot Notes: I enhanced the bokeh/background blur via lens blur in CS5 using a depth map. I then cropped the image down to a 16:10 aspect ratio.
