About This Image

I was able to photograph this fox and her kits over a couple of weeks. She seemed to be a very good mother.

Why This Image?

I like how she was patient with her kits. Seemed calm amongst the excited young at feeding time.

What I’m Trying to Express or Explore

Her devotion to her young.

Where Feedback Would Help Most

I’d welcome thoughts on whether anything could be simplified — removed, softened, or given less attention.

Great photo! I love the color of the foxes contrasting with the background. The mom does seem to be quite patient. A couple little things, maybe remove the branch on the lower left and the yellow in the vegetation on the lower right, maybe a little more room on the right? Outstanding image, tells a great story.

This is so beautiful and I just love that spark in mother’s eye, there is lot of emotion in that.

You may add some canvas on the LHS.

Thank you for your kind comments. Glad you like it.
