    I have nothing to add about the technical details of getting a clear shot of a hare in fast motion – bravo. But I wanted to add that everytime I look at this photo, I see so much beauty: The speed and grace of the hare running (or bounding) and juxtaposed by the blurriness of the bakcground thereby making him look still and the background moving. S/He’s also so far above the ground – you can feel the speed. And then there’s the fact that his/her ears are perfectly straight and alert = and the eye looking as though it was staring directly into the lens while in motion. I get an exuberant feeling when I watch animals run – especially when they are not predator nor game. It’s exhilarating. Thank you for this image.

  9. Ellie Ellie Says:

    I have to say ditto to what K Collins said… above….This is perfect.

  10. Anurag Anurag Says:

    Very nice capture, I specially like the feeling of humour and the blithness of spirit, contrasted by the alert and anxious expression of the eyes

  11. Renee Renee Says:

    Is that a jack rabbit? like the shot :)

    Wonder how fast he was going at the time of the shot. Great capture.
