Watching these two foxes engage in playtime reminded me of how similiar human behavior can be at a very young age, and just like our kids they also seem to have a never ending supply of energy. I loved watching every moment as they seemed so innocent, not hurting each other and releasing their bite at the first sound of a yelp. I believe this image captured that moment best.

You portray things in a completely different perspective and with an eye for the drama around. What a splendid moment you have captured here and what fantastic playful expressions. I like the way they have an eye on you too in the midst of their play. Very sharp image and neat focus. Excellent POV and a wonderful composition. Kudos.

Hi Paul, new name - you've broken your camera??? Oh no!!
Foxes remind me of "Luc" and he's been gone a long time - I still miss him and his fox family photos.
Cut picture of the babies playfighting - nice and sharp, well captured,
Janice

Wonderful moment captured, the catch light in their eyes is great and you have focused tack sharp on them. This picture do tell a story.

TFS, Anil

So cute and lovely. What can I say more?
Brilliant light colors details.
a little centered. I might have move the camera a little more to the right (but the shot is excellent this way anyway).

Gorgeous image Paul.
Just love the way they are plying right in front of your lens while they are watching you and with there eyes seem to ask you if they act well :)
Pity animals and for all people do forget to act like this when they grow older and and change there attitude in a wrong way.
Thanks Dude!!!
Cheers, Harry

Hi Paul,
All I can say is I am very envious! This is an awesome shot. Light, Colors, Detail, and exposure are great. The kind of scene that you just love! Cutness factor is off the chart!

Excellent moment, excellent image with great exposure, composition and dof.

Hi very-talented-dude-who-first-lose-his-brain-then-found-it-and-we-all-were-very-hapy-and-now-you-quit?????????

This is a remarkable image!
Not only excellent technically, but also you got a great moment here, with these young foxes playing so close to you, with that great expressions.

I'm so sorry you quit posting pics anymore here, but I respect your decision, whatever would be the reasons. I know is hard some times to keep the pace posting here, and follow daily the work of all the great people here.
I been so busy lately and miss been more active here, but there are some other things to care about, like a job for example!

Please just let us know some url in which you will be posting or collaborating in the future, it would be a pitty to loose the contact with you.

Anyways, wish you the best in whatever you will do, and thanks so much for all your talent shared all this time.
See you,
JM

Hi Paul, this is a lovely image. The light is great and the playful interaction between the cubs is very endearing. Lovely sharpness and DOF too. Not much more to add except, excellent.

PS. Thanks for thinking of me :-)

Hello Paul,
Lately you seem more strange than ever ;) Hope you are OK though :)
I was just browsing through TN and found this gem. I haven't seen anything so sweet for a long time.
Superb capture, usuall perfect technique and striking theme. No doubt one of best pictures of foxes I've ever seen.
Excellent work!

Soooo cute, Paul, I love the reflections in the eyes and the lovely pose, thanks and greetings

hi Paul,
waow encore une fois une image merveilleuse, techniquement bien sûr mais surtout dans l'expression qui en ressort. Ils ont l'air vraiment heureux ces renards, naifs et tendres.
bravo

This is just too cute Paul. It is a wonderful capture. Everything that needs to be in focus is in focus. Nice work. I love the eye contact from both pups. Natural color is super.

You really are a lucky Paul to have this priceless chance to observe those super animals. I like to see animals play. What is stunning is that many species learn by playing, even polar bears :) This is a very good action with excellent details, exposure, great catch light and eye contact! What a tender moment! Thanks,
Claudine

Foxes make such a great subject for nature photography. The playful interaction between this pair is priceless. The glint in their eyes really light up the scene. Outstanding details and light on your subjects. Nice low POV. Great earth tones. Excellent background and composition. I really enjoyed this one!
