The 3 Amigos

A sweet combination of poses from this trio of cubs! A little soft, especially on two out of the three faces, and that bottom grey blurred area is distracting, but this still scores on the subjects and the interaction captured. They must have been great to watch!

Beautiful interaction, but looks like you missed the focus on this one.

Thanks Carol.  The focus is on the middle fox where it was intended and it is sharp.  I just rechecked the original just for fun.  I was not going to shoot stopped down to where all 3 foxes would be sharp    If I was shooting a single fox with a clear background that would be different. The background is not the best and you want that blurred anyways.  Speaking in general only, some folks miss the point of a nature photo especially one that involves interaction.  The content   When I watch Nature or anything like that, I can't recall having it cross my mind that, "wait a minute, that 3rd and 4th lion eating that wildebeest is not as sharp as that 1st and 2nd one". 


PS.  Actually this had been on my mind for the past couple of months.  I keep seeing this billboard advertising a new housing community.  A large part of the image is blown out and the kids playing are washed out.  I remember thinking, wow that is one effective image.  It gets the right mood thru and I love it.  Then I briefly let it cross my mind, what if that part of the image wasn't blown out.  I picture it in my mind.  Nah, that would just change the whole mood.  The ingredients they put together, it worked.

See my comment above.  Focus is on the middle fox.  Is it possible to get the focus points on all three subjects that are at different depths in Ai-servo?  I don't think it is possible.
