    Sometimes the fox kits in my friend's woodshed like to play peek-a-boo.

    Danny , I love this shot and his eyes are great. I like the unique crop as well. If you have access to this little guy and could try to replicate this shot, have you considered a fill flash to avoid the shadows? That might make an already wonderful image even better. I have looked for kits all spring/summer and have struck out... oh well, something for me to look forward to.

    The pose and background are super. I just wish the board in the foreground was darker or something else.

    Cute image. Agree with wish for darker foreground. The head appears slightly soft, but that could be the slow ss and large aperture. All in all, like the photo, very nice.

    Original crop and the eyes are inquisitive and fearful. Like the idea of darkening the board, but don't know your photography ethics. I would take him home too:), but I think he might eat my cats.........:D

    I have foxes on my property, they wake me at night! But I've never had a chance to see the kits. They look beautiful (and soft and cuddly) but are a menace to our Australian native wildlife. :( I enjoy seeing everyone else's beautiful photos though. Thanks. :)

    Really like the way the fox is just peeking over the edge. Nice catchlights in the eye as well.

    Danny,
    What was the ISO? I like the looks and the crop. Natural surroundings would have been even better. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,

    Priceless Danny!

    My only thought and this is hyper critical, straighten the bar in the foreground and remove the little black bit at the far rhs on the bar. This is, as I say, being really picky.:D
