Cropped a little, boosted the contrast and saturation, otherwise unaltered.

The story behind this shot:

This was a very rewarding shot. I had seen a fox early in the morning that day, but didn't have my camera with me. It kinda sucked... But then at around 5:00 PM my friend calls me that there's a fox sleeping in my uncle's backyard. So I pick up my camera and head there. There it was sleeping quietly and I took a few shots. Walked a little closer and it raised its head to see what was going on. Again, took a few shots and walked closer. Then it stood up and started staring at me. Took a few shots and tried to sneak in closer for some closeups. It started walking towards the woods but stopped to stretch after a few steps. When it was done, it turned back to stare at me. That's when I took this shot. Still tried to get a little closer (I was about 7 meters/23 ft away) but then it took off towards the nearby woods. Followed it for long, but couldn't get shots from close range. Didn't mind about missing the fox that morning, when I saw the outcome of this shot. :)
