Brown Hare running around the field when it was distracted by something over its shoulder, so it stopped to take a look

Another good photo. I am impressed with your ability to get the hare in focus. Thanks for sharing.

Given there is not much feature to the surroundings I would wish for him to be a little more prominent in the frame. I like the alert pose and well lighted eye.

Nice alert pose and catchlight. I might crop it into a pano because top and bottom don't really contribute a lot to the shot.

I like the pose of the hare here Ron, but agree on the pano crop suggestion. Unfortunately IMO the light looks a bit harsh here.

Many thanks for the comments, the light was very harsh Robert and I have tones it down a little

Here's a re-post with a pano crop.
