I like the composition on this Bill, good pose and expression and good use of the frame. The feather is a bonus.

Hello Cindy

thank you! :)

Always have enjoyed these little characters , with their tumbling and jumping within their grouping!

This capture along with 29 other images are being featured during my Solo Exhibition at L&A Museum.
All images within the exhibition are featured with Canvas stretched over wooden frames.

This image really shows off the excellent detail in its larger size of the kit and it's sharp defined details!

Appreciate your feedback.

Hello David,... Thanks.... I was surprised when the kit emerged from the den with this feather attached ! I guess mom had supplied the kits morning feast. This has been the third year at our horse barn when the fox decided to use as a den for a short time! Always great to see them and even better to have healthy fox in the area, keeps annoying creatures at bay, like the messy racoons.

Really cute frame, Bill. I like the contrast between the fox and the dark background. It really seems to make the youngster "pop." Good to see you posting here again!

Such a differing world we live in Bill.  :)   normally I'd be happy with a swop in a heart beat, but by reputation, you can keep the racoons.  :D

I wish there wasn't quite so much shadow on the eye Bill, but the pose and expression are precious!

Love this Bill, the feather is awesome, a little more light in the eye would be good.

Boy, what a pensive pose -- just gorgeous. Though some would prefer the head turned more towards the camera exposing the eye better I think the angle works just fine. What was it thinking about?

Hello Brian, Thanks for your feedback! This was only one of four kits. They continued to roll and posture continuously while I looked on with enjoyment! While momentarily stopping to pose for me ! :)
