Hi Trevor and welcome
Lucky you to have soo many hares around-a great animal to shoot, It looks like the focusing has gone askue here and the focus is on the grass in front of the hare which is abit soft-nice colours and the crop works ok although the hare is left central-at least you can go back and try again
Look forward to more
Welcome Trevor,
agree with Dave about focusing, you can clearly see the point of focus on the grass to the left of Hare. Also I would crop some of the LH side leaving the Hare less central. I do like the panoramic crop though. Lucky you, having loads of Hares, we don't have any at all down here. Good luck with them.
Hi Trevor
I agrree with what has been said. I would add that on my screen the pic looks a tiny bit over saturated. It may be the greens that are doing it. Still an interesting shot though. An animal I haven't photographed.

Hi thanks for all the comments. I know what your all saying..
I was shooting in A1 servo with the centre point only..The worrying thing is on looking at the shot on the camera LCD the focus point is bang over the Hares eye.
Do you think I may have a camera problem ? The serial number of my camera is way outside that of the problem numbers and is only 4 weeks old..
Welcome! Long lens technique comes with practice, practice and more practice! Look forward to you mastering it and seeing some awesome hare shots soon!

14 repliesIve been watching my local Hares for about a year now. The local farm land is over run with them and sometimes as many as 20 in one field..
Any advice on any aspect would be greatly appreciated..

Shame about the miss-focus, but i'm sure you will nail one soon.
I guess it could be as simple as selecting the ideal focus-mode for this type of situation, although i may be talking out of the back of my head

If any of your previous {similar type} shots are nicely focused, you can sleep easy!
