Gav crop wise i'd have cut in just right of the.... is it a dry nettle stem from last year ? ,that bright upwards stem is such a distraction bro...( Des has beaten me too that I ran off mid post to see a mummy frog carrying a tapole and depositing it
so cool hope she carries the other 3.....soz bud I still get silly excited)
Anyways
..mate a personal view forget about rules treat each image on it's merits do what pleases your eyes buddy it's your fun
I also agree with Des it is a cool effort mate it's lovely catching a hare upright like this........I hear Mark's mixed emotion to that response by the hare Gav ,but I still love catching them beiing as tall as they can, so all credit. well done !!
Buddy "punch"..................to me you have added colour maybe saturation in the edit and it's a tad too much for my taste... Mate to me you siimply have veggies between the hare's face and your lens and that's knocking back detail and contrast..it's ever so faint buddy but I'm as sure as I can be sommit is there.?
As always buddy keep chippiing away you are doing great kiddo
Do you know about levels re contrast or punch as Mark put it?
