Portrait Hare
Different photograph from my previous hare post's, the story behind this is, four hare's ran in front of me this one stopped for a split second just long enough for me to get a photo in portrait mode as i wanted something different,with their wild glare and secretive nature they are truely mythical animals :wink: :wink:

Nice shot Craig, Hares have eyes like Jewel don't they!

I rekon the shot works well, bang in the centre, well lit and sharp, difficult to fault all round. Maybe go for a backlit one next time, to spice things up a bit? :biggrin:

Tough animal to film and a great shot, well done Craig.

Works beautifully with that smooth BG.

Really nice shot. Just wonder if a slightly rotated view might give the animal some more depth its currently a bit flat for me, alternatively backlighting it would be nice.

Found a good location for Hares during ecoogy survey yesterday, just got to build a screen into a gap in the field hedge now.

Nice profile in good light, for me a slight head turn would be the only improvement, (I almost sure you have that)

A powerful portrait Craig and would certainly serve a useful role in an article on Hares but as a single image I too find this one just a bit two dimensional.

Lovely portrait. I agree with Phil about the head turn but still fine as it is.
