I'm not sure why, but of all the photos I took in Acadia National Park this one seems to be my favourite. Every time it appears on my photo frame screen I look at it and think "I really like that one". Possibly the composition of the rocks at the front, it being a nice day, a nice place.
Some here may have already seen it on Facebook but this version is developed better.

I've just set this as my background picture on Facebook. It's not perfect; I couldn't get it to pose quite right, It kept messing about with its paws and in the end I took the shot rather than get nothing. It's not badly composed, insofar as it is composed. I like it because it pleases me. No idea why, other that it's a nice-looking fox cub.

Yeah, both the sweep of the rocks and that they visually balance the clouds. Having interesting water definitely helps a lot - a deep lake wouldn't look as nice.
On Canada Day, we light it and throw it off our balcony instead of fireworks.

Bah, you and your techno speak. But yes. However, if'n I went into the photo shop and asked for a monochrome film, they might look at me funny. You're right though, it's scanned (I do still shoot with film. Sometimes) and I think the scanning process lent it a slight tint.
Go into a photo shop and ask for any film and they'll look at you funny - even a decade ago film users were a peculiar bunch, now they're like the freakshow at those old circuses. :P
To the best of my vague and incomplete knowledge of the archaic technology, the film is b&w - you do darkroom processing to add a sepia/selenium/cyanotype/etc tone and make a b&w image monochrome. Or use a cheap scanner. :D
