In his defence sleepy fox was really good at picking a good photographic sleeping spot :)

and yes I am kicking myself for cutting off his ear - only a tiny tiny bit.


As always any comments/crits welcome - thank you :)

The second shot of Cheeky is my favorite. The shot of Old Dad is great too. It is a shame about the ear. You are so lucky to have them available to you!

[PhotoJet]

These are GREAT!!! :cheer:
The 3rd & the last are my absolute favorites!

I think shot #5 should be "Indignant Fox". :lol:

BTW... I am not bothered one bit by the slight ear crop. The focus is that wise & knowing look on his face.

Lovely series! I like 'cheeky fox' (as he peers around the tree), and Old Dad for the 'wise and knowing look on his face' as Photojet so aptly phrased it.

[Terri]

The expressions on these guys are great! You really are fortunate to be able to hang around and shoot them like this.

Nipped off ear or not, I think I'm most partial to the last one - can almost touch that fur.

Please number your photos if you embed more than two.

Of these, I like #3, 4 and the last the best. however, the wild-eyed #6 is quite funny.

[Rolleimaniac]

Yeah, you nipped the ear…still; this is a beautiful profile shot. I love it. Jeez, all razor sharp.

[Tangerini]

ooh lovely!! I'm leaning towards the first as my favorite. The depth of color in his fur is so beautiful (and who can resist that adorable yawn?) :)
