"Hi, thanks for getting in touch. I like this picture because it has caught a very specific moment - a fox perfectly reflected in water with water 'frozen' as she drinks.
This is Rua, a known vixen, who comes to a hide regularly. To get the shot it's a matter of being quiet, waiting patiently, staying alert as things can happen very suddenly/quickly, and holding back until the right moment arrives.
I used a Canon R5 with Canon EF 100-400L lens.
All the best,
David O'Brien."

Big thanks to all photographers for sharing their images with us.
