I havent been to the fox cubs for about 10 days as i have been away and last night sat up there for a couple of hours until the light was too low,I only saw one of the cubs but couldnt believe how much it had grown especially the length of the legs

Love the compisition of this but I am not sure if it's your post processing or what but the image seems to lack punch as well as the whites being blown out.
I hope you don't mind but I've had a go at adding a little punch back into to the image. Unfortunately, I couldn't do much about the highlights and of course, the work that could be done is limited in a low res example from the web but it's a start
Hi Barrie
I thinks its my screen(uncalibrated) as yours looks over saturated on mine,Will have to get spyder or similar,The white on the nose are fine unprocessed but have blown during processing-i hold my hands up and will forego my cocoa before bed time
Cocoa before bedtime... the Swiss lifestyle takes some beating doesn't it....
My version may well be a little over saturated - I literally spent no more than 20 seconds in PS playing with it, but the originally looks a little flat.
Back to the image though - as I say, a great composition and a photo I would be very glad to have!
Nice shot, attractive image, good eye contact and a good composition with the forest habitat used nicely to frame the fox.
I agree your original post looks too flat, almost like a RAW file without any levels adjustment.
I think Barrie's conversion is a tad too contrasty, but not by much. Here is my quick bash in Photoshop. Adjustments were levels midpointer moved to 0.75, left slider moved to 5, then saturation +10. A case of season to taste so you might well prefer a slightly softer or A more contrasty version.
My monitor is calibrated with Gretag EyeOne, but my eyes are uncalibrated

This is a wonderful shot in my opinon! Don't want to comment on the contrast, as my monitor isn't calibrated. Certainly an image I'd love to have.
