As a follow up, I didn't explicitly state one of my points. When you are taking 50000 shots per project you only need one to come out perfect. So when you look at award winning shots like this it could be a 1 / 1000000 shot. It's seems possible he takes a similar amount of shots per project all year long, year after year.
The interesting part is taking a night shot with a flash of a fox jumping a fence - you probably only get one chance. Or his setup only got one chance. I can't imagine the fox is going to get anywhere near that same spot again.
