    This is from the same shoot as the previously submitted image, I went down today for 2 hours and didn't see one - not a single one!
    I overexposed on this because there was a lot of reflected light off the grasses with the newly melted frost, and I also wanted to minimise noise - no noise reduction used in CS6 just the "standard NR for this ISO" as in AH /AM guide in DPP4
    All C&C welcome.

    Hello Jon,

    I like this very much, nice techs and great IQ at 4000 ISO, great action from this cute little Hare!
    Love the POV, super BG, colours, sharpness, this ticks all the boxes for me - I enjoyed viewing, keep them coming

    Warmest regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    At first I thought the fur looked a bit pale but the more I look the Hare looks wet which I suppose is from the melting frost,lovely galloping pose you have caught Jon.

    Hi Jon, like the bounding action of the Hare and the cross over legs. The dew adds a nice touch and provides some atmosphere to the scene. Surprised you needed to apply any NR at ISO4000. If you have it, then moving the crop down, with more image content below I feel would be better.

    BTW If you know of anyone who wants a 1DX let me know as I'm off loading one in April.

    Hi Jon - Great running/hopping pose and the low pov works great as well. The dew and the wet fur help tell a story. I agree with Steve that a little more space below would take this up a notch.

    TFS,
    Rachel
