Brown Hare

I was shooting the mountain hare when this brown hare came along said hello and went on his merry way. The light was going fast but I got the shot.

I quite like the setting Ron with those green grasses in the white snow. I do wish the hare would have faced the camera rather than away though. On my screen the shadows (blacks) look too washed out and the eye too light as if you have overdone retrieving detail in the dark areas.

I love it but I do agree there is something strange about the eye. Love the snow with the vegetation sticking through.

Crikey you got close! Lovely setting with the grass and snow - hope the nits can be fixed.

Thanks all for the comments.

I'll take a look at the blacks, but the eye is natural and not touched at all.
