thanks for your thoughts.

Such a charming little guy. Nice composition and use of depth of field. The detail in the fox's face is terrific. Well done.

Great portrait Nicholas!I love the beautiful light and warm colors here. Do I also see a bit of fill in flash? Greetings from Greece

You must have such patience, these little creatures are hard to capture. The whole image is beautiful, I love the way the cubs' back softens and blends into the background. Lovely DOF. Well done. Best regards, Hugh Price.

thanks for your comments and compliments. this was taken in natural light only (no flash), he was looking toward the recently risen sun.

thanks again

Nick
