A nice image Jeff, but it appears very noisy on my monitor?

Paul.

ISO 2500 on a MK3 and then cropped is never going to be pretty, IMO its one for the bin as the grain has knocked the detail out of the image

Hi Jeff,

I suppose you could give it some more noise reduction, but as DC mentions, your left with an image that shows no detail. Had you been able to use a lower ISO you would have had a very nice portrait of a Hare. Keep on with the hide and a good shot is bound to come your way.

Sorry Jeff agree with Dave.

Hi Jeff, It is not easy to get close to hares as I am sure many people on here will testify. I am sure you will get one closer than this from your hide, with a little patience.

Cheers

Jeff
Well done for getting close enough to secure an image - hares are not often easy to approach.
I'm not sure why you opted for such a high ISO when you had exposure to spare? Shooting at ISO 1000 would have given you 1/250 @ f4 (probably enough to handhold a 300) and would have resulted i much less noise.
Cheers,
Chris
