Mountain Hare
This is one from back in mid-January from a day's stomp in The Grampians. Hard going through deep snow and hares were mostly very flighty but I got lucky with one individual that approached to within a few metres. I was partially hidden behind a snow bank.

Canon 1DIII with 500mm lens.

Love the side lighting-really lights the eye and the blueness of the snow adds the feel of the cold

Fantastic. You can almost feel the chill factor, and the yellow of the eyes nicely counteracts the blueness of the snow.

Nice Mark - might just push me to get some of mine from last weeks foray/slog processed!!

Snow and sunlight really do make all the difference with these don't they!

Wonderful image Mark. I love the eyes and the facial expression generally. Just back from skiing and had loads of the white stuff, but didn't see any of these magnificent creatures.
