Urban fox cub
A lady rang me erlier in the year to say they had fox cubs in the garden and would I like to photograph them. After giving it a lot of thought I decided to go round :biggrin:

There were two cubs playing around in front of the shrubbery. Got lots of shots of them together and individually.

Nikon D2X 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-S .NEF processed in Nikon capture 4.0

Hi John,

Great shot. :toast:

Love the catchlight in the eye, really sets the picture off.

Maybe crop to remove top left corner.

Very attractive photo, John. The tongue on the nose is a very nice touch.

A really fine shot John,with cuteness in abundance.
Catching the fox with his tongue out stretched only adds to the images' interest and appeal.

Great timing with the nose-lick. I also like the slightly timid, yet adventurous expression. Seems to suit a fox cub perfectly. The OOF leaves at the front are a bit distracting, but on the whole it doesn't devalue what I think is a fine photo.

Hi John

A nice shot, a very playful image with the tongue out and the bright, alert eyes.

cheers

Really nice image John but the OOF branch grabs my eye I'm afraid. Without that it would be outstanding.
