Good evening dear Jon,

Great pose from this hare and I love the raised paw, really cute. Nice framing too, well captured! Perhaps a little 'pushed' in terms of contrast and colour (for me greens a tad overwhelming) and more vibrancy than I would normally expect from you ...but I must say overall this grabs me

Nice POV, techs look good, sharp where it matters and nice detail. Have not seen the previous image yet, shall take a look, such a cutie and glad you had such lovely sighting, hopefully more opportunities in the future.

I take it all is good on your side? Here in SA things quite tough at the moment...No electricity and sometimes no water, no internet...We did book a camping trip in the Kruger Park in May and so looking forward to a little break...hopefully some new images too.

Wishing you a lovely end of the week, I shall pop in whenever possible and try get in touch every now and then... thank you so much for sharing

Warmest regards,

[Jonathan Ashton]

Hi Gabriela, yes regards colours perhaps a little heavy handed. I got a number of images as he ran towards me and each one posed a slightly different problem in trying to get the light and colours balanced. I suspect you will find the previous one a little more to your liking. As usual I have been messing with differing settings to try to get a pleasing result, until now I was getting consistent results! I will be posting more.

On reflection the first image just does not look right, here is a repost

Oh yes Jon, this works very well. I like it, very much. For me colours are spot-on. Beautiful

Hi Jon .. awesome image , love the running head on shot !!!
Very well captured Sir !!!
Fokus , sharpness and details are top notch and spot on .
I am surprised to see you pushing the colors far in the OP .... almost " German way " . I do like the OP way more than the " flat Jon style " in your RP ..... as a compromise I would reduce the color /tone in the OP by by 33 %

Lovely shot Jon and I would like to have this on my collection
