Description
I was driving and saw this fox running along the side of the road. I've never seen a fox carrying prey before, so I grabbed my camera and drove along-side it for a couple of minutes while shooting out the driver's side window. I don't condone this sort of dangerous driving act, but I couldn't help myself at the time.Image is cropped (only had 18-70mm with me).
It's been suggested that I amend the description of how this photo came to be...
My boyfriend correctly points out that:
1. He first spotted the fox on the road,
2. I only saw it after he loudly exclaimed (and I paraphrase here) "
SLOW DOWN YOU'RE GOING TO RUN OVER THAT FOX!!!".3. We spent the next 1/2 hour tracking the fox as he wanted to put him in the backseat and take him home.

Okay, First things,Love how you captured it while it was running. It looks more real..then when you like..capture it when its still. This looks like a wonderful snack for the Pups that will get to eat it. Or if the one fox will just enjoy it Her/his self. and The Title, Very Creative. X3 I think the rabbit is still alive O_o But anyways. Wonderful job on the title and the way you took this picture. Makes me wanna run outside and find myself a Fox or a rabbit to take a picture of.. Lol I hope this inspires you to take more pictures of anything you can find.

verry nice shot. captured both predator and prey well. the closeness of the shot is impressive. little motion blur but I think that is because the subject is moving. first time I have actualy seen a pred and prey shot. such wild beauty in the fox.definatly one of my favs now
