Afternoon Romance

Canon 1DX • 700mm • 1/1600 • f/6.3 • ISO 2500 • handheld • manual

This is a courtship shot of cottontail rabbits, the buck (male) is below and the doe (female) is in the air.
What I've read is that the buck sprays the doe with urine and it is supposedly equivalent to us guys giving our wives or girlfriends a bouquet of roses.
I had watched them in the distance and had no idea why the one rabbit was jumping every time the other approached, but was happy to get this shot.

Thanks for looking.
