Peek-a-boo hare + RE-POST
D7000 500mm f4 ISO 250 1/320s at F8 handheld resting on tusssock.

Came across this mountain hare who wanted to play peek-a-boo behind some rocks.

Many thanks for your comments on my last post, greatly appreciated.

Nick. :wavey:

Hey Nick looks like it's playing cat and mouse with you I think some would like the whole animal but I must say that I do like this type of shot, looks like those Hares up North have a lot more hair in their ears suppose it's to keep them warm no pun intended :biggrin:

Interesting POV Nick, I would just pull back the yellow and juggle the green in HSL and crop about an inch off the foot, bit too much mush, but all personal choice.

Yes, I think I would take a little off the bottom as well. I do like the POV, and especially the fact that you have produced something out of the ordinary.

Yes, some off the bottom for more emphasis on the excellent subject.

Thanks fellas. I have cropped off some of the mush but not sure about the results with space for the virtual hare in mind as the hare is stood up. Would appreciate somne feedback.

As a decider I will go for the second one Nick. For me it has a slightly more intimate feel to it and I have no problem with missing any virtual bits :wink:
