Stu, there is nothing fancy to this, you just need the light to give you the 'rim light' around the subject. A lot of these images have been Lions lit by two spot lights at night, so just shoot wide open ie f/2.8, f/4 as you are not looking to retain any detail, but for me, it's old hat and rather boring now. This however was late afternoon and I just wanted to get the rim light, but to also hold some detail, as the subject was almost static I could afford to have a fairly low SS, could have done the same with some of the Tiger images, but I chose not to and so on reflection I may have pushed the ISO a bit too much. I also dropped the EV too, the PP was almost minimal, think you could achieve the same with your hares.
cheers
Steve
