Hyperrealistic close-up portrait of a red fox with amber eyes against a dark background.

Hyperrealistic studio portrait of a **mature Eurasian red fox (Vulpes vulpes)** in three-quarter profile, captured with medium format precision. The subject exhibits: - Luxuriant pelt with layered fur textures: base of deep burnt umber transitioning to fiery russet along the spine, cream underbelly with subtle silver guard hairs - Intelligent amber eyes gazing slightly off-camera with focused intensity (catchlights shaped like subtle hexagons) - Moist black nose with microscopic texture visible, one whisker lifted higher than others - Ears rotated at 15° angles suggesting acute auditory awareness - Relaxed yet alert posture: weight distributed evenly on forepaws, hindquarters slightly lowered **Lighting:** Rembrandt-inspired chiaroscuro with key light at 45° (warm 3200K) creating triangular highlight on right cheek, fill light at 110° (cool 4500K) revealing fur detail in shadows, hairlight rimming the left silhouette with golden halo effect. Shadow gradient: 85% to 40% opacity. **Background:** Seamless matte charcoal (#2F2F2F) with barely visible watermark-like pattern of overlapping circles (opacity 7%, scale 15%) suggesting security printing. Shallow depth of field (f/1.4 equivalent). **Composition:** Extreme close-up framing from nose to shoulder, negative space concentrated left of frame (70/30 ratio). Camera angle at subject's eye level. Color palette: dominant burnt sienna (#E97451) + charcoal, accent metallic gold (#D4AF37) in eye reflections. **Symbolic details:** - See more
