Gorgeous shots. #3, #5 and #6 are the standouts for me from a very strong set!

Fantastic!! love #3 with the mouse in his mouth - and the closeup is lovely. Wish I had animals like this in the wild to try to shoot.

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?

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.

Nice series. I like #3, #4 and #10. The silhouette of the fox with the rodent (or whatever it is) is very creative.

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?)
