Fox Cub
Another cub from this morning,a shot I'd had in mind for a while but never had the iso cranked up for a higher shutter speed.
This one came pelting out of the hedge and ran straight towards me and was the only sharp one from a series of 3,it was only during processing the shots that I noticed the midges around the cub(hope you can see them at this size!),I did think about cropping but feel it works better like this.

Nikon D3,500 F4 AFS,IS0640 1/800th f5.6,Beanbag,Baghide.

Cheers

Craig

Craig,

Love it, all I would do is crop some some the left as viewed, about an inch as it appears on screen, the framing would then be great, the midges are an added bonus ( yes you can see them).

Hi Craig

Cracking shot pretty much ditto Phil's comments - perhaps a little less!

very nice, like the intimate feel given by the OOF framing

Another fab fox shot, echo the other comments about framing, but not that keen on the midges, sorry :smile:

Agree re crop to move the cub from the centre of the frame-looks like you are having fun with these guys
