This is my my first post here. Sympathy I'm not looking for but would welcome some guidance and feed back on my posts in what I consider the place to be. Sorry if some have seen this elsewhere but as its the season I'll start with.. a hare .
D3, sigma 500mm f4.5 at 5.6 ,1/400th iso 400
Processed PS3 via camera raw .
The hares have been monitored for the last 3 weeks with Craig Jones and Andy Astbury, thanks for your company guys,but to date I've failed to get that all too important boxing session 'nailed.'
Plagued by coursing , 5 arrested last week and another 2 being questioned from Tuesday ,these poor blighters are in decline in my area.
Thanks for taking a look and in advance for your valued comments.
Looks good to me , good panning nice clean bg... BTW you do have my sympathy... three weeks with Mr Astbury
Shame about the coursing, the ones I have been trying to work are on a national Nature Reserve so fairly safe... Looking forward to more and good luck with the ever elusive boxing image.

Very nice indeed. Is it full frame? Rubbish about the coursing - I hope the arrests have some effect, but the punishments rarely seem severe enough in my opinion.

Adam its full frame bar a small crop, just on the min focus distance of the lens .The boxing..

Nice shot mark, love the eye contact and sense of speed.
Sorry to hear about the Coursing, my SEO roosting site in Lincolnshire has also been plagued by Coursers a few months ago, I promptly parked up with the 600mm and filled my flash cards with their ugly mugs, then called the police.. few weeks later they were in court.
Very very nice Mark in all respects. Look forward to more
