This one doesn't quite work for me - the oof blob in the foreground is a bit too 'pointy' and well defined. While I am usually a big fan of 'mush' images, this feels a bit too intrusive. That said, I haven't got anything this good and you have everything else spot on!

Works for me Major, a good NH image showing typical behaviour. Might take out the chalk(?) to the left of the frame as it draws the eye a bit.

Excellent!
So much detail. It's amazing how hares have slightly different coat colours to blend in perfectly with where they live, (something to do with the soil I think?) This one even has lighter grey patches which seem to match the chalky stones!
Can't wait to get out with my local hares!

Some of the coat colouration may be to do with moult Dawn. They actually moult spring and autumn and also there is a great variation of coat colours including albinos etc.
