Brown Hare.
Nikon d7000
Nikon 300 ml 2.8
1/200@f7.1 iso 500.
Sometimes you get lucky this one ran right up to me.
Hope i have not made many glaring mistakes with my processig.
Thanks for looking and your comments on my Snipe
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 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.
