from my recent trip to Scotland, did quite well with these while i was up there so may have trouble keeping my postings to a minimum
stalked this resting hare very close but the composition wasn't working, eventually however it got up and gave this brief over the shoulder look before trotting off
40D + 300mm F4L + 1.4 extender
slight crop from top and right for comp
A beautiful portrait Jack. The detail has held really well and like the OOF foreground.

Superb, the expression on its face lifts it above the ordinary.
A real portrait. Eric

WOW!!!!! Trotting off is the only action I saw when we went after these chaps
I really did enjoy them smaller in the frame but this is also very very nice.
Well done.

Thanks for the comments all
Tom - no camouflage, just normal dark clothing and a very slow approach, they know you are there but some don't mind while others do
