I had the opportunity to attend the New Forest Fox Hounds annual fund raising walk and breakfast early this morning with Maria (HopefulM). It was a very educational and interesting morning.

(Don't forget fox hunting is now banned, so no discussion here on that subject please!)

1. Happy Hound!

Nice ones always nice to see piccys of these (y) I loved to work with them also ;)
 
I really like number two, good wide-angle, just the right depth of field to ensure sharpness of the all the dogs and handlers whilst providing a nice blur of the background. Good colour too.

wow! Love these. Love the shots walking down the lane, that guy at the front - looks like you dont want to mess with him :p
 
Love No.4. Great use of DOF.
 
No1 the winner for me! Cheeky chap :)

nice to see these animals are being cared for and given the chance to use the intisncts that has been bred into them (to hunt)

good looking pack of hounds. no 3 for me
 
Great shots. I love the Bokeh as well as the perspectives - though I would have enjoyed getting down and nasty with the dogs at their level while they're tearing up that leg (kidding). :) By the way, what lenses were you using?
