Hi Everyone,

I was out yesterday evening shooting in overcast conditions when I came across this lovely little Manx Rabbit feeding in a nearby field! I know the Dandelion is a bit distracting!

Happy shooting,

Hi Paul,

It's a great shot! The Dandelion isn't distracting at all. The first thing you see is the rabbit. I like the texture of the fur too.

Great expression on it's face as well!

Not quite as crisp on the head area, as your usual stuff Paul, but a nice shot nonetheless!!

I assume a Manx rabbit doesn't have a tail

you already mentioned what would be my only minor nit - and it certainly doesn't spoil the image for me.

Looks a touch front focussed, the grass stems to the left are sharp, but none of bunny is in focus.

Possibly caused by leaving the camera in continuous AF mode when shooting a static subject - its not uncommon for lenses to hunt slightly between frames when shooting a static subject. Try single AF mode next time

Nice capture Paul just a pity about the white blob that you mentioned.
