Off to Greece for a little holiday

Hi Keith, yep you certainly are lucky with those Hares, they are either very skittish or want to become best of Pals, seems the latter on this one!

Not struck on the square format, but each to their own :wink: I would look to selectively reduce the Yellow, tweak both Levels and Curves and if you can, just bring some lightening to the left eye as viewed. Sadly I think the focus point is more to the rear judging by the coat, so I'm not sure if any more selective sharpening on the face will help? Personally I would have shot wider ie 2.8 to get more shutter speed, although I do like the blur of the front paws.

Enjoy you little holiday, I'm sure the hares will still be around.

Have fun.

You certainly are very lucky. Lovely image, although I'm not keen on the square crop. But apart from that a very nice action shot. :wavey:

Yes, I agree with other comments. A little more canvas on the right if you have it. I still love the pose though.

Another cracking hare shot Keith. A liitle more space to the right would be nice but cropping is very personal. Enjoy your hols!

I'd agree with the comments thus far Keith. Another great hare image.

A great capture. I like the blur on the front leg but not the square format and as Steve says the eye is a little soft :wink:

Great moment captured - these are normally quite hard to achieve. Personally I don't like the square crop though.
