Martin must have been able to gain the trust of these animals to manage to get up so close and personal to them without them shying away.This photo was captured at a perfect moment to show off this animals hunting tools. The way the orange colour of the fox stands out from the icy white snow and the pale blue sky is what makes the photograph so captivating as well as the expression on the animals face.
Martin has skilfully used up the majority of the frame to make sure that the fox was the main focus of the photo. This angle creates a larger than life scale which alongside the expression captured gives a certain unease as to what the animal plans on doing next. If I were there at this moment in time I would consider the animal to be showing quite a vicious look. Although from the details in the fur the animal is also portrayed as being soft similar to a canine.
