Heel
Fox taken tonight, He likes to jump up on the stump which is like a lookout so it can relax and watch whats going on nearby

Nice pose, looking into the frame. Maybe a little tight at the top? But still lovely :smile:

I do have one with more room and the fox more cetred in height but kind of prefered this one thinking that the body was rule of thirds-time to throw that book out i guess
Thankd for the comments

Hi Dave - still on them I see, you lucky lad you :biggrin: :biggrin:

Great shot Dave, though I do think a bit more at the top and a bit less at the bottom would be good.

Nonetheless a nice image though Dave :wavey: :wavey:

Given the time of day Dave, well captured as usual, with a good expression. Any looking towards camera? Be interesting to see the same shot taken with the D3.

Guess you will be sad leaving the little fellows :rolleyes:

Hello Dave, lovely image of an almost 'collie' like fox. Composition works fine for me as it is. The tree stump gives it a setting and the fox lies comfortably on the thirds. Personally I just can't see what extra room at the top would give this picture. Nice one.

Cracking image Dave.

Seeing that he/she is looking with its head on a downward angle IMO the comp as is works for me.

Just love it.. the pose is great and the composition works well also. Glad to see they are still providing you with ample opportunities.

Forget any nits, I (among many others) have never seen a fox laid like this well done just for catching the moment. Oh and the super image .
