Thanks for looking and your response to my Owl post.

Hi Keith, a very, very nice image indeed. Colour, detail clarity all look good and I really like the pose in this one, well done .

If you have it a tad more space below, but no deal breaker. Got the colour profile right too, you re all set.

Lovely.

Thanks Steve,a lot of the improvement is down to your help

Keith.

Keith all I did was point you in the right direction with a few helping words of advice. You can now build on what you know and continue to share your images with us.

cheers
Steve

Agree with Steve but I would personally back of the desaturation of the grass by 50%, looks quite odd.

a very nice pose Keith. It all looks good to me, though the grass on the floor and the hare's rear feet look like they've been desaturated?

I hope you like your new macro lens by the way.

Matt

Thanks Matt and Neil i selected the hare to sharpen ect i wonder if i missed its feet

Cheers Keith.

Have i improved this on the repost?

Keith.

that's better, the colour has returned, although the rest of the processing looks better on the original image (exposure, sharpness etc).

Matt

I would personally back of the desaturation of the grass by 50%, looks quite odd. Totally agree Neil, looking on the laptop this morning, multi tasking, DOH!!!

Keith use the BKG on the RP and the image of the Hare in the OP, echo Matts comments, but watch those 'DAZ' whites, looks a little too pristine.

Firstly great image. A wonderfully caught piece of behaviour and nicely separated from the background. But what is going on with the processing Keith? The hare in the first image is super, sharp, nice contrast and colour etc...but the grass looks B/W. Second image, as Matt pointed out, is more realistic but you have totally lost the punch of the first image. At the end of the day it is the image that counts and I'd be well pleased with this one Keith and I'm certain that given to any number of photographers they would probably all come up with a differently processed end product.
Great image.

Thanks guys,Robert i totally agree with you and i still have some difficulty with my processing even with some great tips i have had from Steve and others on this forum,i must admitt that i rushed the repost and should have spent more time on it and i must say i did miss the points pointed out by Neil on the original post,might be down to being so chuffed about getting the shot in the first place that i was so pleased with ,i have a lot more from my sessions with these Hares i will try very hard to get it right next time.
Thanks a lot

May try again and repost at a future date.

The first for me, Keith. It's a cracking Hare shot and some good advice given re the processing.

Andy...

Keith, Must be something wrong with my eyesight, it looks a fabulous shot to me!! ( did it need processing)?

First version for me too, but definitely worth another go at processing.

Keith

Thank you for sharing a very intersing image, we also benefit from the comments and advice enhances the value of the forum.

Hey Keith Hare from first rest from second, its not easy at all to get right but by getting such good shots to start with you are doing better than most

Thanks Phil was pleased to get these shots especially getting so close that i was able to take them using my 300ml after selling my 500ml i did wonder if i had done the right thing

Thanks to you all.

Cracking image Keith, amazing pose captured telling a wonderful story. I love the first one posted well done

A combination between the first and second would be perfect! Great shot Keith

Oscar

Agree with Oscar but that is a sweet image Keith and so close too.

Nick.
