B&W Sprinting Brown Hare

from the weekend before last, this will be my last hare shot for a long while

this was one a few males chasing a female (or maybe this is the female, i can't remember) the only shot from the sequence where motion blur didn't ruin the image, at 1/400 second i'm not sure how the head came out sharp in this one as they really go fast (notice the streaks of snow going horizontally)

i can post the colour version but after playing around a little decided i preferred this one

350D + 300mm F4L + 1.4 extender
1/400 @ F5.6
ISO 400
FULL FRAME

Interesting, I must visit my local hares before they all hide in the long grass.

I like this Jack,sharp in all the right places,would like to see in colour also

Thanks for the comments Paul and Barrie

here's the colour

Very nice capture,sharp in the right places and just enough blur,prefer the b+w though.

Not sure why Jack,but I too prefer the B/W

Hi Jack a nice image. The colours seems a bit greenish but I still much prefer the colour-version to the B/W

Perfect combination of sharpness & movement!

David

Andy...

Hi Jack I prefer this one in BW which is great.

Hi Jack,

I think the B+W version is awesome!

BW for me too, I think the colours are just a tad too strong in your colour version... tis a super image, a bit bothered by what seems to be a sharpish line about 2/3 up above the hares back, possibly the electric fence? easy to remedy though.

speak soon

Fine shot Jack. eithr will do for me, although I think the colour version is a little over-saturated.
