Yes
This little chap hopped into the field while I was taking shots of some straw bales. Bit of a surprise, so I wasnt ready for him. Got a few shots off but on reflection, this was a missed opportunity.

Instead of instinctively focussing in on the hare to the exclusion of everything else, what I think I should have done was take some shots of him at a wider angle. This would have put him in context and added another point of interest to the landscape shots I was taking.

Oh well, maybe next time. C&C very welcome

Last one is a belter,don`t beat yourself up about them,they are all good animals in habitat shots.
 
Cracking captures anyway! :shrug:
 
The hopping on eis great - an opportunity seized I would say (y)
 
Look on the bright side, you've learned a good lesson and got a couple of very nice shots into the bargain.

I once did exactly the same thing as you've done and got little bit of whale in a dark grey sea whilst a friend stood next me got this...... ho hum. :LOL:

The last one is a corker, nice and sharp, good colour and a natural setting (y)
 
I think these are great, you've caught the little guy in his 'manor' (so to speak).
Well Done Sir.
 
I like them a lot a really nice set shame he did'nt hang about long enough for you to get lower on eye level with him

The thought had crossed my mind at the time but to be honest I didnt want to move a muscle in case I scared him off. That would have been just my luck. Next time I might be a bit braver
 
They are really super shots of a very difficult subject, sod the composition this time, GREAT effort!!
 
I love 'em......at least you know where they are.
