Great image! Like the comp and the detail in the hare. I have been looking for snowshoe hares here in Colorado myself.

That super low angle and the dark BG really make this a strong image Ron. My only nit is that dead branch in the BG directly behind the hare... a real pity, but quite beyond your control obviously.

Nice angle and I like the detail of his coat. Now, if you can only get one to pose like this against an all dark background! Actually the branches are not too much a distraction and perhaps you could cause them to recede even more with some careful selective darkening.
