What a cute face Luke! It looks like he wants you to play with him. What fun it must be to have this family of fox kits to photograph.

He's sooo cute!! I love this shot, nothing to distract from the intense curiousity of this little one. This is very nice.

Appears to be very curious and the raised paw adds to it.

One of your most captivating ones Luke of this series. The direct eye-contact combined with the approaching forward moving pose is drawing all the attention of the viewer to the little fox immediately and it is hard to look anywhere else in the frame. My only small nit is regarding the composition; IMO the subject is a bit too centered. Depending on where you have room in your original capture I would try a different crop.

the courious stare make the image. But the color, dof and comp are great. The lifted paw adds to the image also.

Luke, this is my favorite of the series for the intensity of the pose. A small, easily fixed nit...on my monitor the texture of the forehead appears slightly oversharpened in both sizes.
