Captured these kits this past spring in Colorado. The only thing that bothers me is the clump of grass on the right side and maybe just a little more space around the kits.

You mean that it is full frame, right? First I thought it would be great if the other kit would have faced you but not anymore. I like the intimate mood and you mentioned the nits.

I still love this shot. Gteat exposure and as stated the intimate moment is nice. I still have yet to photograph a fox and hope to do so in 2008.

Dan: This is really a wonderful slice of canine life. The grass isn't a factor for me because it directs my eye to the face of the kit facing the lens. This would make a wonderful shot for a large print on the wall.

The cropping is on the edge of tight but quite acceptable here. For a large print, it could be looser.

You pretty much covered the small nits the image has. You captured some cute behavior and great color..

Such nice interaction you captured Dan and the light is amazing. I feel the grass balances everything very well but also feel that a bit more space around them would fo them well.

I like the grass. I think it adds to the intimacy of the moment as if you are peering in on them in their private lives.

I like the interaction and emotion capture between the pups, but would like a little more room around them as well. I like that one of the pups isn't facing the lens. Great shot.
