I know you're there.
I have been trying for some decent hare shots for a while and at last it seems to be coming together. This hare popped through the hedge right in front of my hide and settled down for a thorough wash and brush-up, but never once took his eye off me. I suspect he realised that I am not quite as quick over short distances as he is.

40D; Sig 500/4.5
1/160; f8; iso 200

C&C welcome and thank you for looking.

Very nice Eric - if it was mine I would take a little off the bottom!

Hi Eric, I really like this because of it's simplicity, which is never easy to achieve. Being on a slight slant too just adds to it. Not sure if it needs less above or less below just to break up the central position height wise?

Like it a lot :toast: :toast:

Cracking shot! Incredibly difficult to see these against a brown field. Yesterday I had a laughable experience of watching a young deer get chased by a herd of cows. It jumped over a fence and startled a brown hare which fled with the deer in pursuit! Wouldn't have seen the hare otherwise!

As you already know, I love hares and agree with you that I could probably spend the rest of my life photographing them. The is a beautifully sharp shot of the subject, and I think you need that space at the bottom that the hare appears to be moving into.

A fine shot Eric. I'd go along with David's suggestion about losing a little off the bottom.
