Mountain hare
I didn't want to post another close-up so have gone for something a bit more inclusive of the environment

40D + 300mm F4L + extender
FULL FRAME

I love the angle on this. I assume you were shooting uphill?

Works for me Jack. Interesting BG, the mottled effect/look is a good break from the norm. Love the detail & that beady eye! :wink:

Lovely shot Jack. I prefer this to the closer image.

I really like Snow Hare images as we do not have these over here in The netherlands but this one is just a tad too blue for me. I think the image suffers from a blue cast wich i have tried to correct for you.

Well done getting this beautiful animal on sensor!

greetings,

Hi Jack,

Super shot, great mammal! I personally prefer the first version, looks a very chilly scene, nothing wrong with a bit of blue now and then IMO.

Cheers,

Lewis.

A very nice image, lovely colours make the Hare stand out well. Nicely composed, anyone would be pleased with such a lovely image.

David - i'm fairly sure i was shooting pretty much on the level for this shot
Jeroen - Thanks for the cast correction, i think you are right mine does look really blue in comparison

Hi Jak

First post all day long for me as I feel it much more accurately reflects the kind of light that you get in the mountains. The second 'nicotine stained' version looks like its been hanging around with Mark Davies too long :biggrin: Spot on!
