Hi all,

This is my first post here, I'm registered as a guest. My name is Craig; I'm 13 years old. I've been interested in photography for just over four years now; I got my first D-SLR for my 10th birthday ( it was a Canon EOS 300D). Brown Hare's are my favourite mammal; Red Grouse are my favourite British bird. I've been observing, (and admiring!) the forum for some time now.

Any comments and critique is always greatly appreciated,

Many Thanks,

Craig..

EXIF:
Canon EOS 30D
Canon 300 mm f/4.0L IS + 1.4x TC
ISO 200, 1/125 s @ f/6.3

Great photo, Craig, and welcome to the forum. Very jealous as I can't get near hares at the moment - pesky things!

And a very nice first posting it is too, great stretch pose, perhaps just a shade more Depth of Field, but that is hard to call at web size.

Welcome to the forum and I am looking forward to seeing more from you...

Great start Craig. You got the curve and stretch pose nicely. :toast:
A great favourite subject to have.

Welcome Craig. A cracking image in beautiful light. Hares are one of my favourite mammals too. A life-times work could be spent on this one species alone. Cheers, Mark

Thank you very much for all the replies! It's very daunting putting a photo up on this forum due to such a high quality of images posted by others!

Any info on what kind of image the judges of the junior WPOTY look for in an image would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Craig..

That would be a great shot from anybody, Craig. For a first post it is magnificent.

What do the judges in WPOTY look for? Most of us ask that question every year, and not just in the Junior section!
