Awesome shots, Jason. I agree, these are really special. Just love the perspective, the clarity, the behavior, the silky foregrounds and backgrounds - whew - just amazing! Indeed, these ought to be submitted for publication. Glad I didn't miss them.

I guess there are 3 kinds, one of which is extinct now, I believe. They have them out here in California, but never knew it. The San Joaquin Kit Foxes are one type. The Mojave kit foxes are another type.
I will have to do more research on these fellas.
This is without a doubt some of the best wildlife photos I have seen on this site in a long time. The perspective is spot on. The bokeh is silky smooth, and the foxes are spot on in focus.
Ya.. I'll have to do some research on this. I don't know which subspecies this may be but I would like to find out. They are incredibly small, about the same size as a house cat.
Thanks for your kind comments. I have to admit the DOF is due more to the need for shutter speed than artistic decision. I was looking for less noise in these so I was having to shoot wide open with the low ISO number. It would have been nice for a few of the shots I tried to get but they would not hold still long enough. of the few I tried most have some motion blur.

I am speechless and envious of your work. Thanks for sharing. I agree I would submit these to a few wildlife publications, they are that good.
Thanks Bill. I guess I'm going to have to see about that.

Superb images, Jason. The down low angle works so well, with perfect exposure of grass to subject. Well done.
Thanks! I always try to put the pov on their level when possible and the grass or lack of it proved to be just right.

Thank you! I sure had a good time taking them. With so much encouragment from the folks here I may just see about the chances for publication.

Wow! Love these, keep em coming. BTW, glad you're using Nikon
Thanks! I don't really get wrapped up in the brand wars. I have used the Canon gear before but I started out with Nikon and for me it is just more intuitive and I don't have to think about where things are when I'm shooting. I guess I'm getting old. Anyway...I will post some more as I go through them.
Here is another just before the sun sank over the horizon.
