I think this is a wonderful shot. The dappled lighting and the cute pose from the fox makes for a very endearing image :toast: Spot-on composition as well.

hi graham

great shot, lighting, background and detail - spot on, well done, believe it of not i have been after a shot like this all year, so well done on getting this close to a very vary prey, cubs are a litle bit more approachable

Nicely composed and, as Simon says, the dappled lighting works well.

Nicely done, Graham. This has a lovely feel to it and the subject matter is high on my list of mammals to photograph so I'm very envious.
