Lovely set.
I'd be tempted to crop 2-5 slightly. The majority of the background is nicely out of focus, but the left edge draws my eye slightly.
I think the last is my favorite, but I'd have been proud to have got any of them!

Superb, particularly the last one.
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog!

Really good shots. I would be tempted to retouch them a little, perhaps playing with the curves/contrast just to get the fox to stand out a little more.

Pretty much agree with what Mike said above. Love #1 and especially #5.

I love the last one. Does anyone else think the greens in the first looks more natural

Excellent.
I can't agree about messing with them though. This is a wild creature in its natural habitat. It's supposed to blend in!
Low noise ontrol very good and nice to see you don't need £2,000 giant lenses all the time for wildlife!

Good set. I particularly like the last one. I would be tempted to clone out the bottom right corner bright stuff. Also I might be tempted to clone some of that lovely background bokeh to the left hand side.

The last one is the best of a lovely set of images. I would be tempted to tone down the saturation of the greens a little though, they seems a bit day-glo (although I am looking at them on a unprofiled laptop monitor!).
Great stuff. K.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Another super set.
I would crop #s 4 qnd 5 to lose the branch on the left, and also to lose most of the out of focus trunk. The felled trunk is intrusive. You need to leave some in otherwise it would look like you'd chopped the foxes front feet off. However, you only need to leave in enough of it so that the viewer can see you haven't actually cropped off the feet.
Excellent stuff though. Really looking forward to seeing more of your work

Personally I prefer not to Photoshop pictures, It is how it is.
