Just for a change, one in which the dandelions were on my side. This was another taken on the way back to the car, he just appeared in front of us, but a little way off. We tried waiting for him to come closer, but my aching bones wouldn't let me stay still long enough and I frightened him off. I am pleased with this because the composition is deliberate rather than accidental but I admit to removing a little from the lhs and the bottom to put him closer to the thirds. The foreground that I removed was just plain Oof grass and seemed to me to reduce the impact of the dandelion clocks. I hope you like it , but please let me know if you disagree with the comp or anything else in the shot irritates.
Hi Eric
Like this one a lot, eye is tack sharp and really jumps out at you. I do wonder whether cropping out the background trees might be less distracting but still a great picture.
It is a lovely setting and shows the environment well. The Hare looks sharp and the DOF seems OK.
I would remove the top line of trees and then some off the bottom to balance it back up again.
I think this is a crcking hare shot with a difference. Subject is doing something interesting and the setting is great. Crop is fine as it is although I reckon this would also work as a very narrow pano by removing the oof treeline and cropping a lot off the base (could be used as a banner heading). Nice one Eric.

Good environmental shot of the hare doing something interesting.The darker band of trees at the top doesn't bother me as it stops my attention straying out of the picture and concentrated on the field.
I like this image a lot. Simple in composition, the dandelions gives the sense of place and time of year and the tack sharp eye takes the viewer straight to the hare.
The tree line does not bother me at all, but try it in a pano crop and see if it works for you.
Eric I love this image,I love the composition and the enviroment it is in,the dandelions love great and the hare is lovely and sharp,one of my fav hare images I have seen
Super image and I wouldn't change a thing, cropping this would ruin the composition and I like the hedge/tree line at the top as it makes the setting more interesting.
