On a receent trip to photograph wildlife in Grand Teton National Park had fun observing a mother fox and her six kits. These three really seemed intent on looking at something! Comments appreciated.

Hi Jeff,
I would crop much closer to the kits as the house doesn't add much to the image in my opinion. Also, I noticed that you used a very high shutter speed which forced the ISO up adding noise to them image. Depending on how fast they were moving, a shutter speed around 1/750s would have worked in this case.
Do you mind telling me where this shot was taken? I am in Yellowstone right now and may swing by the Tetons.
Cheers,
Hisham.

Hi Hisham,
Saw the kits in south end of GTNP. Entered through park entrance at Moose and went north a few miiles. There is a left turn onto a short road leading to some administrative buildings. The foxes live under an unused cabin on the right. 6 kits and the mother. I left a good bit of the building in as I was trying to make an "animals in their environment" shot as opposed to a more portrait like image. Thanks for your comments! Have fun up there!
