Now those are some big in your face ears. Love the image design. I brightned it by lifting the curve from the center.

looks a lot better than my 1000D @ 1600 ISO Hendri!

cute critters these...could do with another round of slight sharpening
Artie's repost has brightened it nicely.

[Steve Kaluski]

I'm 'all ears' on this one, very nice.;)

Morkel I think at 1600 another round of USM may not help, however it's always worth a go.:)

That is a good advert for ISO1600 and a great subject.

Good to see the ears on full alert as from my experience they don't always have them raised and "tuned in" to the sounds.

Amazing it can hold it's head up with those ears. For me somewhere between the two posts for brightness (I favor a darker image than most though). Very good crop choice. Well done. TFS

Cute subject. Almost looks like a photoshopped creation with those big ears and tiny face. I like the alert, focused look and BG colors.

[Harshad Barve]

What a set of ears , Amazing , VWD at 1600 and Guruji's repost takes this to next level

Hey mate, just love those large alert ears. Good job with the high ISO, and you have been posting a variety of different images recently. It must be great to get out so often.;)

[Hendri Venter]

Thank you so much for your views and comments. It's highly appreciated.

[Ken Watkins]

Would I love to get a picture of a Bat-Eared Fox as good as this most cetainly, I love it. This is one of the most beautiful creations in the universe.

[Steve Maxson]

A beautiful portrait and the ears are amazing. I like that it is looking at something to our right and not directly at us. Well done for ISO 1600.

[Hendri Venter]

Thanks for the kind comments Ken and Steve.

Like the vert. comp and the details in the ears.

[Betsie Storm]
