Hi John

I really like this sort of shot.... I would crop the bottom off as I think the OOF 'plants' detract from the high key simplicity...

All the best

Very nice John & good to see you back :toast: :toast:

Agree about the bits at the bottom, the exposure is perfect so I'd just crop to clean snow all round.

Hi All, thanks for your comments. I thought I would put in this image with this kind of comp. just to get your feed back. I have taken other shots of the Hare with the traditional comp. This animal was very difficult to see. It was taken in Churchill Canada recently. :toast:

Very interesting shot - great picture for me. Have to agree about the crop though. I like it that you are prepared to post something that you aren't sure of yourself, it gives the rest of us food for thought.

Fantastic image; it really stands out as something different. One of my favourite images from UKNP this year.

Hi John. Fantastic stuff as always. I can see why this composition appealed. To me, the hare looks like he's looking at the few meagre bits of vegetation left on the tundra. :toast: :toast:

I like this one, it's very much like Anna Henlys encounter from WPOY, fantastic detail and would look great as a large print I bet.

Cheers
