    Fantastic Jeroen, love it.

    The classic image of 'Boxing Hares' and they certainly have started early, I thought it was around March/April, spring time? Great light, pose & expression on both Hares as expected from you. If weather permits will be checking out my site next week. Is this on Texel?

    The lighting, BG, good eye contact, low perspective with just the right amount of SS for movement makes for a fine image here Jeroen.

    Really nice image Jeroen. I like the little bit of blur on boxing paws. Very nice light as well,

    What's not to love here Jeroen?? Fabulous angle, interaction and even better light! The blurred paws really take this to another level...

    Great action, well captured. I agree with the others, the slight blur in the leg really takes this up a notch.

    Thanks guys for your kind comments!
    To Steve: This was not shot at Texel but near my Great Bittern site only 4km's from my home. Was there again today and spotted some more Hares going at it. They sure are early this year..

    greetings,
