The Fox’s Tale: Milan Radisics, Hungary (1st place, Wildlife & Nature)

Radisics says: ‘Over eight months, I spent almost every night sitting at the window of my cottage in the middle of the forest. The young vixen appears in the village after dusk, circles an hour and a half, and appears in a courtyard several times. I observed her movements and behaviour from the darkened room, and took the exposure remotely. I named her Roxy. I set the lights in advance, like in a studio, and waited for the protagonist to walk into the scene’
Pay attention to the rim light from the left side of her face and body, that is the pre-set artificial light by the photographer , He might have to set the light every night during the eight months period.
