The main subject of the image is a female red fox, captured mid-stride, moving from left to right across the frame. Her body is long and low as she moves at pace across her territory. She has a rusty orange coat with lighter, almost white, fur on her underside and pointed muzzle. There’s a dark grey, almost black, patch that runs down her chest and along her abdomen. She has dark, almost black, sock markings on her legs and ear tips, while her long, bushy tail, or brush, has a distinctive white tip. The foreground is dominated by lush green grass, while the mid-ground and background are filled with dense clumps of bright yellow daffodils with long green leaves. The background is softly blurred (bokeh), which keeps the focus sharply on the fox. Just visible beneath her belly are swollen, pink mammaries that indicate that she is nursing young. She’s moving rapidly to find food and water quickly before returning to her concealed den and young cubs.
