Hide & Seek (Foxes ears)

I've been very lucky this summer to have two fox dens close to the house on the farm. Both have at least two almost full grown cubs each. However, it has been hide and seek with the cubs and they don't seem to like having their pictures taken. This is an attempt from today I'm not sure about, maybe it is best picture ever of a fox cubs ears LOL. :smile: :smile: :smile: Cheers MJ

I like the eye contact and the "ear" contact. :biggrin:
Lovely shot Micheal.

I know exactly what you mean ! But that's the way we usually see them. I like these sort of shots.
Funny but I am having a similar problem. Adults OK -cubs very skittish.
Cheers

Interesting enough, and different. Might have worked better if it wasn't so central.

I like this and for once I don't mind the central viewpoint which in this case works very well. The large out of focus flower front left is a bit distracting but I could live with it if it were my picture.
