sprinting hare
Another from Elmley, this hare burst out of nowhere and ran past me. Fired of five shots as it went past, only the first two were in focus.

350D + 300mm + 1.4 extender
1/800 @ F8
ISO 200

Its a nice image Jack but would have liked the hare to be less ,,hidden,, and a big bigger in the frame.

Good capture Jack, just a pity he wasn't in a bit more open ground :wavey:

I really like this shot. I think the grasses enhance the movement of the subject. However, I would like to see a clearer view of it's eye. I am not in to manipulation, but that one blade in the front of his eye distracts quite a bit.

Well done getting some shots in focus, not easy with all that grass to obscure your target.
