Double Trouble

This photo is from the red rocks lake wildlife refuge in Montana. My family and I were driving around the refuge one evening and we came across a den with seven kits out playing in the sage brush. I used a 500mm lens and fuji slide film. I welcome comments. Chet

Chet,
Perfect title for this excellent post, the pose of the two subjects is outstanding and I really like the back lighting and detail.
However, you seem to be having a noise problem with this post as well as with others so far, the BG is very grainy on my monitor especially in the larger version. I would also rotate this image counter CW to level the horizon.
This is an outstanding capture.

This appeals to me very much for the "pedestal" pose, composition, soft background and sweet expression. I would probably experiment just a bit on the digital scan with a slight increase in warmth.

I love the pose. The back lighting gives a nice effect. I even like how it lights up the sage to the right. I agree with all of what mike said about noise and rotating background.

Such a lovely moment, the playful expression on their faces is priceless. I agree with Brad about making the image a touch warmer. I would also selectively remove the BG noise. But apart from that I just love it!
Grt, Ingrid.

The light on the kits is strong yet soft enough to hold the details and the colors nicely warm and real.
