That is a great shot, John. I would like to see a tad more canvas at the bottom for the hare to run into, but no big deal.

Nice shot and not easy when they are coming straight at you. Think I may have been tempted to remove the piece of heather but just personal opinion. :smile:

Hello John.

Great capture and even better as the hare is on the move, and love the pose with the front feet of the ground.

I would also lose the bit of Heather as its not adding to the image and only pulls the eye.

Nit covered but this is a nice capture. Good action, good comp and well exposed.

I've heard so many stories of photographers coming across a 'sitter' with this species - I've never come close to that scenario, they just leg-it! Well done for getting this.

Cheers,
Chris

So much better as Hare is on the move. John regarding cameras, did not have 2DN but 2D was excellent but the files in the MK3 were much better and the MK4 I feel offers even better quality files in terms of noise and smoothness and at 16MP gives you far more cropping power. :wavey: :wavey:
