High Key Fox

The foxes around me are starting to become very active, now that their kits are venturing out of the dens. I shot this at a den I've been shooting for about 5 years now. I was happy to see another family had taken up this den yet again. I only saw two kits tonight, but there is still a pretty heavy layer of snow on the ground so I wouldn't be surprised if there were more hiding inside the den. This is the vixen keeping an eye over the two kits wrestling below this rock. A large snowbank behind her provided the high key lighting.

Simple setting of the lichen boulder and the blank snowy background works great.

Awesome shot Nate! Love the HK BG on this and how the fur stands out against it. Also like the comp on top of the boulder.

The fox images you have here (as well as on your site) are absolutely spectacular. This lady actually looks like she was groomed for Westminster Dog Show before taking the shot. I really love these.
