Wow! How did you get the dog to jump like that - and snap at just the right time?

This is an almost surreally beautiful photo. I see it more as the ":silence of the hunt" since the prey isn't in view. Just gorgeous.

Great shot for wildlife theme, but as for silence, just looking at the picture without your title would give me no clue as to anything having to do with silence. Judging only from the picture, I can only assume that the "silent prey" is the SNOW??? ;) There's really no evidence to say otherwise unfortunately. Don't get me wrong, it's a great action shot of an arctic fox, it's just not an image that you can say, "I get a feeling of quiet/silence from this photo," even if it were merely named "UNTITLED". Keep up the good work. :)

Nice shot. I think this would have worked better as an horizontal shot.

Excellent photo! Somehow this doesn't speak silence to me, though...there is an element of silence perhaps, but it doesn't convey the concept of silence. Still, nice work. 6

One of my favorites. I hope it is a live shot, and not a museum exhibit.

This is a cool photo of a cute little animal, but I don't see "silence" when I look at it. I understand, by looking at the title, your connection - but I don't think it's an obvious connection.

what an excellent capture! I've seen these guys in action and that's a tough move to get - nice close up and stop action feel. One of my favorites

Had to be taken at a museum, no?

Oh my goodness. I am just in love with this photo. It is breathtaking. I wouldn't change a thing. It gets a 10 in my book!

What a cute photo. The fox looks stuffed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

wel... i'm afraid to say that this creature DOES look stuffed... but you got me for a second... .. a little overexposed on the back.. .. but decent image.
