A beautiful Fox portrait, what makes the image special for me is the brief shaft of sunlight coming in from the upper left it really makes the image stand out, its beautifully framed with the Fox central to the image, i would have been very proud to capture this image very well done to the photographer keep up the good work, a well deserved winner

Photography is all about capturing the moment, exactly what the photographer as done here, different species sharing the dinner table and feeding wildlife in our gardens makes that possible, i like the framing on this image the subjects to the left, its so easyt just to photograph them central so thought had gone into capturing this image, the rain drops just make it extra special a well deserved commended image.

This image really made me smile with the birds bathing but on a different aspect its also sad because as more natural habitat is lost our gardens become more important to passing wildlife to drink or feed and sometimes we get species you would never ever see in a garden as you can see here, well done to the photographer for capturing this moment ia well deserved commended image

**This contest is open to photographers ranked 1001+ in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Our gardens often offer a wildlife haven that is easily overlooked, even when we live in a town or city. Photography offers us an opportunity to explore our world more closely, and there can be great joy in being confined to a small area in which one must find interesting imagery. It’s a discipline that teaches us to make the most of what we’ve got, and that often it is enough. The same can be said of looking for wildlife in one’s garden or local patch of green. It might require patience for a bird to land, or a fox to pass by, or a macro lens that makes the bugs a bit bigger, but wildlife gets everywhere, thank God, and we’ll be there to take interesting pictures of it.
