Thanks again all for your comments !! To answer the question these were taken approaching the foxeS ... "S" because there were two of them in that field. I spotted them from the road and tried to approach them. I was crawling and finally landed up right in between them ... They were hunting and moving around. Fox n° 1 (pic 3, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10) was at the left in front of the sun and fox n°2 (pic 1, 2, 4 and 8) at the right and got really close to me. Fox n°2 left the place at first after he came too close to me ... It took quite a long time to fox n°1 to spot me ...

Have you been able to get this close to them before?
Yes I did ... Fox became my favorite subject
Here are a few more pics from that evening (pics 11 to 16) and I'm sharing as well a few taken this week (pics 17 to 20)...
It's a real treat to see these. I like any photos of foxes but more often see pictures of the gray foxes than the red. What a fine fellow this one is. That last, silhouetted image, #10, is very dramatic and effective, and I particularly like #s 6 and 8. # 6 is Reynard to the life.
Fantastic series... really a pleasure to view and very well photographed.
Lots of reasons to like many of these images... #6 is amazingly beautiful.
Excellent work.
Wow, superb captures, Walter! Congratulations, it is so difficult to approach wildlife in our region! I saw your thread on beneluxnaturephoto.net, you should post some of the cubs (or did I miss them?)
Claude
