Mountain Hare washing himself
I spent about three hours with this Guy after I had gained his trust by carefully stalking him over a period of time. Mountain Hares can be very confiding or just run as soon as you cross that comfort zone, on this day the Seven that I had stalked two were of the confiding nature.

Canon EOS 1D MK11, 500mm Lens, F4, 1/250, ISO Rating 200

Outstanding image - simple composition, very moody.

Danny

Ok so you did get a bit closer than me :biggrin:

Wonderful image,

Interesting what you say about some being so confiding, two year ago I saw one in the same area as where I took my photo, that just sat on the path and looked at us. Shame i did not have a decent camera then :frown:

All the best

Lovely shot Danny! Exposure and pose are superb.

Where was it taken? I don't mean exactly (don't want you giving up secret locations!), I just mean a general area.
