[FromTarn]

Having got an e-mail the other day I was excited to find out I'd been shortlisted in the Land Mammal category at the British Photography Awards , here is a copy of the said image.

Congratulations on making the shortlist, its a stunning photograph

 

[Dale.]

Good stuff, well done!

 

[Bobsyeruncle]

Brilliant.
Well done.

 

[Box Brownie]

A wide angle lens?

The low PoV and slight 'distortion' giving the fox an almost comic book look to it's face

A very effective b&w image of the urban fox.

Superb image, congratulations on the short listing

 

[LongLensPhotography]

I am not surprised at all and very well done!

Love the lighting and the 3D look on the face.

If I am allowed any criticism my only advise would be losing a small amount of space on the left.

 

[FromTarn]

Thanks and I see what you mean about the space

Congratulations Martin, lovely shot. I like the negative space on the left - breaks the 'rules' but so what? It shows the environment of the urban fox

Thanks Mike agreed about showing the environment, breaking rules is like breaking eggs, sometimes its messy and sometimes it makes an omelette

Well done on the shortlisting Martin
- must be a wide angle lens, rather than your 400 DO?

Russ

Thanks Russ and yes it was a wide angle lens, the 400 DO would have just got its eyeball

Nice image. Just a thought, but the 4 comps I have been shortlisted for in the past prohibited me from sharing the shortlisted images until judging was finished? Are you sure you should be posting it yet?

I thought that as well

 

[Bebop]

Congratulations! Great shot.

 

[swanseamale47]

Looking at the pic I can why your in the short list. Cracking shot mate.

 

[FromTarn]

In the e-mail they sent me, it said it was ok to share on social media and my local newspaper has done an article about it too, I have tagged British Photography Awards on twitter and instagram as well re the photo and it seems ok as they have not been in touch to tell me I am in breach of the comp rules.

I thought that as well

 

[Daysleeper40]

Well done Martin - well deserved imo!

 

[woollyback]

That's a fab image

 

[ancient_mariner]

Congrats - great image.

Update folks although I did well to get shortlisted in the awards I didn't make it to be nominated but maybe next time thanks to everyone for their comments, likes and votes if you voted

Well done getting shortlisted anyway. Personally I don’t like these public votes where the photographer is named. It just becomes a popularity contest with the help of a photographers social media following. A photography competition should be done anonymously so it’s the best photographs that come out on top and not who has the largest following.
