Photographer’s Note

I spent one whole month in the country that has always been my dream country - Chile. I lived with a Chilean family, friends of mine, and one of the things we did was making a 2 weeks trip through the impressive north! One of the places we visited was Pan de Azúcar National Park. It's a beautiful place! In the park we saw a couple of little Chilla foxes (who were clearly used to tourists by the way). The youngest daughter of the family I stayed with couldn't say goodbye to them. She just stood there, watching them, after she had given them a little bit of bread. That's the moment that I took this photo. Hope you like it. =)

Very interesting picture, a pity that you decided to focus on legs rather than fox... Interesting idea anyway.

I agree with the previous comment, but I also find the shot somehow interesting and original.
I do not know what would be the best solution. Certainly the legs out of focus would be a too big blurred and meningless spot in the figure.
So either both legs and fox at focus, (impossible, maybe, from the tech. point of view) or this way you have presented.
Just half a smile as I am not fully convinced.
Ciao Stefano

Hi Anouk,
Yes, this is a very difficult photo... I agree with Stefano, it would be better if the focus were on the fox, but then the big blurry legs in the fg would be distructing. Shooting a different moment would have been the solution, for example the connection between the girls and the fox.
BTW, I like the idea and the quality of the image (but 800 pixels, 300Kb - keep it in mind!!!) and I think it's worth two points. It was an experimental, wasn't it? :))
Cheers,
Marci
