Half a Family Portrait
This is half of the six kits that are living in a den down the road from my house. The most i could get in one shot were these three but there are at least three more running around.

This is a superb portrait, but the blue color cast is really quite strong.
Check out what a quick 'AutoColor' fix does in PS.
You'll be amazed... :wink:

Cool scene. I like how they're all looking in your direction. I'd be tempted to crop off a lot of both top and bottom, perhaps even turning this into a horizontal, to concentrate on the foxhole without all of the extraneous brush and dirt. John is right about the color balance, this one is leaning a bit cyan.

I'm with John on the color cast and Josh on the crop suggestion. But so cuuuute!

Love the eye contact! Agree about the color and crop.

I second the above mentioned tips, but still a great photo.

Great capture! I think I'd crop way in on this...make the foxes fill the frame. You then couldn't print the image very big, but as is I think all the other distracting elements detract from the image.

Mike....what a great portrait it is.. I agree about the blue cast but that can be easily fixed... I think top can be cropped a bit too... but what a great find! :toast:
