Rim-lit Hare
One from last night (before the ash cloud descended :biggrin:). Taken from off the top of a drystone wall. I use these to creep up on the Hares but the only problem is that they make low level shots fairly hard to come-by. I think the POV works ok for this one though.

7D 700mm ISO:320 1/125 sec @ f/5.6

Thanks for looking

Nicely done , as you say a bugger to creep up on. Personally would prefer a lower POV but when they are this hard to get near I'd be pleased with it. A little more off the top ?

I personally like the space above and it makes sense editorially, The rim light works well and really lights the whiskers up, Nice alert but relaxed pose

Just my type of lighting. Great focus on the eye and the POV is fine for me. Excellent.

Echo DC comments Simon, but would like a tad more room to the rhs. Given up with ours as they have so much room and you can never second guess which field they will be in. :wink:

Every time I use a dry stone there's a tractor or car that comes along :biggrin:
