Reset white and black points, increased arc in red and green 'curves' to overcome blue cast and finally a curves increase in black contrast and lighten greys and whites
Nice picture. I also had the chance to see it happen in a cornfield. But it was to far to make a picture of it. I stayed there for at least half an hour to enjoy what was happening.
Next time better.
Which ones Calzagie? Perhaps they were inspired by the big fight. I like the scene, puts it in context really well.
Nice one

Hi Ian,
Well caught action! I like the overall scene! I think it would be worth spending a little time on the processing of what is a very nice environmential image!

Thanks for the comments, I am still not very good with Photoshop so am intersted to see what Mike has done, I will have a go with the original image.
Went back 2 days later in great light but not much was happening, possible the action is over but I now know where to look next year.
After taking some photos I carefully left the car and quietly got into a low shooting position, I felt quite smug not disturbing them doing this until a lady with a huge dog appeared behind me asking if I was OK. The hares never batted an eyelid, the local farmer loves having them around and is quite protective so the hares do not seam that bothered by people.
