I just received the news that 5 newborn arctic fox kits were seen at the den where I will soon spend 10 more days of photograph.:D Hopefully I'll be able to photograph more of this stuff (but this time without that annoying rock).
hahaha.....those rocks are amazingly difficult to get rid off at that place, there everywhere! Good to hear that your trip over there won't be for nothing Jasper, surely you will come back with some sick shots. As for this one, to have an interaction shot like this but still having 2 of the three facing towards the viewer giving this a more intimate feel is ridiculous IMO, the composition couldn't be better, love the low angle the light and BG. As for the rock......if it wasn't there this shot would have been absolutely perfect.....but it is still pretty much amazing. SOOO wish this was mine. see ya

They look absolutely adorable. Am not sure if the eyes have been dodged a bit too much. They might look better if darkened a wee bit & with increased contrast. Well then again, it may be just my monitor !
Would like to know what other feel about it...
Everything positive about the photograph that's already been mentioned . . . I echo completely. Beautiful image. When are you going to dig out that rock? ;)
I'm photographing a red fox den and the eyes of the kits are pretty much the same way when the sun is on them.
Those are some cute faces and they jump right out of the screen at you. I like the colors of this image. Couldn't get the one getting mauled to give you a quick glance? :)

Jasper, yes it would be even better without that OOF rock, but truly I had not even noticed it untill you said so. These cuties simply draw the viewers attention past the FG rocks. Excellent image as always.
Fantastic opportunity and you certainly made the best of it. Amazing image with good sharpness and background. I'm sure you will come back with more great images this trip.
