Long Day Playing 06_22_05.jpg

We spent this evening watching the fox pups again. It was such a pleasant night and the sunset was spectacular. This is straight from the camera. I didn't need to touch the exposure or the color. I just cropped, resized, did a tiny bit of sharpening and then posted the image. This was taken at a slightly different angle from the last fox picture. I wanted just the sky as a background.

And two more from a bit earlier in the evening. Those a bit squeamish may want to pass on the second photo.

I have never seen a silhouette quite like this - pure dead brilliant.

I love your nature shots. This background reminds me of the signature scene with Rhett and Scarlett in Gone With The Wind.

Quite a sunset, and quite an image. You are really on a roll with the foxes. This is yet another that looks like a wonderful illustration. The background looks almost painted. Beautiful shot.

Love the scenic sunset with the foxes in silhouette.. the grass climbing up the righ side of the frame balances the golden-orange sky in a yin/yang way.. nice

Such a wonderful and gorgeous caputre! Fact that the image is straight out of the camera is equally impressive.
