Beautiful capture! Love the golden brown and the crisp sharpness. Looks like a young one, is it?

No strobe - taken with the last minutes of sunlight - it is a young one. We sat on the den for a couple hours last night. Taken at approx 30 feet.

Light and details are fantastic ! I just regret a small thing : fox's right ear is a bit cut...

Jaime,
You photograph is breathtaking. One cannot help admire this lone fox in the last light of the day!
Few other lenses have the power to render such presence. At the dawn of photography, the lenses were too sharp and clinical. Uniform sharpness is a fashion that has crept back into photography in the past 50 years. At the beginning of the 20th century, however, the best opticians and mathematicians made versions of lenses that degraded focus or added a layer of softness to sharp focus.
Here, with your long lens opened up, you are working with a more expressive system. The softness of the light and the depth of focus add a sense of such beauty and also vulnerability to this hunter. It really is wonderful that wild animals like this can still survive as we erode their habitat. I must commend you for your sense of purpose in waiting for this handsome creature to come within range.
Everyone of us is passionate about wildlife protection. So bringing this handsome fox here, standing alone and unafraid, reminds us of the fragility of everything we treasure.
This picture is very special for OPF. Everyone here is enriched by this contribution.

The ear? If it bothered me I'd clone repair that edge!
