Nice action shot Jeff and I particularly like the dew drops in the grass. The light is nice and soft as well. Your patience sure paid off! I do notice a slight magenta cast, but that can be easily remedied in PS (if you would want to). Pulling the black slider a bit tighter will give the image a bit more punch IMO (I tried both with your image in PS).

Cool action shot Jeff, I really like the pose and light here and I agree there is a slight magenta cast to it (so basicaly what Vincent said :wink: )

Great catch, seems a bit soft in jpeg, hopefully its just from compression. Love the dew on the ground and the mid-stride. I like the cast, seems natural for the time of day.

Run rabbit, run! Nice capture of the action and sweet light. He is very well -positioned in the frame. I think a lower angle would have helped but don't know if that was even possible since you were confined to a hide. With those big hind legs and big ears and the small forelegs he looks a lot like a kangaroo!

I really like how well you caught him moving. The color, on my monitor, seems to need a bit of an adjustment. The dew drops on the grass are a terrific element.
