Did you shoot with AWB, the colour temp is very blue, I would be inclined to warm it up a little, I think some more curves may make it pop a bit more as it seems flat-nice to see the dew drops

The image is very noisy. Is there some reason why you shot a stationary hare at ISO 2500? :confused:

Hello Jeff.

I think I would used some noise reduction on the main out of focus areas but the main part of the image is not to bad.

I do like the feel to this and the dew drops really make for a nice setting.

Never been able to get close to these Jeff, smart shot of a super animal, nits covered.

I agree with Dave about the blue in the image, but that is easily sorted. The dew drops are great.

Good stuff.
I got my first hare recently and had the same problem with grass colour..
But I have a problem with anything green !!!
I like this as it is to be honest. the grass gives that early feel.

Well caught Jeff :toast:

Any nits already covered.

I love the comp, the dewy grass and the overall feel to this picture Jeff. However, to my eye, it looks as if the point of focus is slightly in front of the hare or at best on it's nose which has left the eye lacking critical sharpness. Perhaps a touch of selective USM would help. Having said that, I am looking at this on a very poor works monitor.
