Rabbit
1d2n, Sigma 500/4.5, 1/200 f5.6, Tripod, processed in LR

My first go at shooting Rabbits - I have finally managed to find some private land where I can have a play. Shame about the BG OOF rabbit - it moved shortly after this image, but my freshly charge battery then died (2 new ones on their way now!)

I had terrible trouble with the grass colour when processing this - it kept turning "neon" - in the end I used selective desaturation of the greens (easy with LR!). Does the grass look ok now?

Hi Gary,

Grass looks fine. OoF bunny not that distracting. Looks like a nice bit of grass, those Rabbits will soon destroy it! Bet the farmer got his hopes up when you said "Can I shoot your Rabbits" :biggrin:

Regards
