16-year-old photographer captures adorable fox duo with 10-year-old DSLR – and is now ranked among the best in nature and wildlife competition

Sixteen-year-old Jack captured a delightful scene of two red foxes in a tender moment, with one gently nuzzling the other's face against a soft woodland backdrop. His photograph, titled Harmony, secured second place in The Week Junior Science+Nature's Scavenger Hunt photo contest. To achieve this, Jack employed several photography techniques with a decade-old DSLR camera and a versatile all-in-one zoom lens.

The image stands out for its unique ground-level perspective, the use of natural light, and the focus on close details. Jack positioned his camera low to create a more immersive view, made use of the available natural light to highlight the foxes against the background, and used a versatile zoom lens for capturing the intimate details of the foxes' fur and expressions.

The contest, open to photographers aged 16 and under, invites young photographers to explore and document the beauty of nature.
