Excellent for hand held. Great focus on the eye and I love the surrounding environment. I hope it didn't cause too much damage to upset the farmer. :eek:

Very nice indeed Mike. It just looks so natural and all of the tones complement each other nicely.

How did you know it was looking for hares ? ! !

Cheers

Good one . More space on the right maybe if its not full frame, but a change from the norm.
I like this. Just looked again and one tiny niggle. That pale bit of something behind the head . Distracts from the antlers.

Mike, you have to be careful about cranking up the ISO as it does add noise to the image, but not as bad as the 20D. Plus the 100-400 at full stretch is renowned for being soft towards the top end. Colour & light looks good, but not too sure at a larger size if the sharpness is there (?). Agree it is the best to date, the image has room to breathe and you have distance between your subject.
