Very good Major, I much prefer this one. What a great pose! If I was being picky, I would say it's a shame the horizon intersects the ears, but thats really clutching at straws!

Ticks all my boxes Major, a real beauty with a good dof. Wish it were mine :biggrin: Very nice indeed.

Agree with Billy about the background, but your patience has really paid off, what a lovely pose! Dewy foreground grass looks very nice too.

Nice one Major - that stretching pose is great :wavey:

Agree with Billy over the skyline as a minor nit.

I'll tell you one thing though Major - it's not ringing as many bells with me as some of those you posted last year - now they were something else: this one is great, they were STUNNING :wink: :wink:

Love this Major, the dew in grass really adds to the scene for me.

I wondered when we'd see some hares from you this year Major - your shots last year were such a pleasure to see and this is no exception, really nice stuff. Just looking at the horizon and the dewline does it need a bit of CCW rotation? :smile:
