Here's a few more of the Kit Fox series. I'm having a really hard time trying to decide what to keep from this shoot. It seems I had diarreha of the shutter finger so I have lots of shots that look mostly the same but with subtle differences. This edit is going to be a tough one for me.

You can find Pt1 here Part 1

And part 3 Here

Streeee...tch!

Looks like I just missed the focus here. It seems a bit soft to me. Darn!

Well done !!

Well, I wouldn't be too hasty about deleting any files. A nice dilema to have!

#4 is my favorite in this series. What a treat to view!

Delighted to see some more from this shoot Jason. I agree, #4 and #5 are fantastic. Wow!!!

Gorgeous animal and wonderful shots! #4 is my favourite.

Jason, I didn't think you could top the last series, but I may have been wrong. These are outstanding, you really have some special images here. 2 and 5 are my favorites.

Doug

Holy cow someone call National Geographic. Everything about these is fantastic!! Great work.

Nice dilema yes but a dilema none the less... I can't possibly keep all of these. Glad you are enjoying them!

Thanks Laura! I did take full advantage but somehow, which is always the case the photos just don't do the experience justice. It was a magical evening that produced these shots. One that I will remember for the rest of my life.

An embarrassment of riches, Jason. These are even better than the superlative previous ones. The first one is a grabber with the razor-sharp focus on the fox and its composition against the beautifully bokeh'd background--the whole panorama. Number 4 wins the champion fox contest--look at that conformation. Great colors, lighting, the works. Really special set.

Excellent series, Jason. The lighting of the #4 & 5 images makes them very extra sweet !!

Another fantastic set. 4 & 5 are my favorites for this set. I hope you post some more from this shoot. Thanks for sharing.

All I can say is "woow" , Can't really pick a fav, love every single one of them. Very well captured Jason. Love that golden light in #3,4 & 5. Thanks for sharing these.

Thanks slau! I have quite a few that have that super sweet light but i didn''t quite have the shutter speed I needed so there is some motion blur. I know I could have upped the iso but I was trying for the least amount of noise possible! I have more than enough keepers so I'm happy!

Thanks S_Martin! I have some more but it'll have to wait a week or two! I'm at work right now and this will probably be the last I have any time for a while.

These are all very good and a couple are simply outstanding. I like the "bat face" one.

I think it is a shame that foxes were never able to be tamed as pets. One good reason is that fox urine has one gawdawful smell. It is used to mark trees that would otherwise be illegally cut for xmas trees. You bring one of them indoors and let it warm up a bit and you won't keep it there for long and you will definitely never do it again.

They are one of natures most beautiful creatures. Both cute and majestic at the same time.
