Beautifully shot. The clarity of the subject and the speed depicted just shows how good a picture this is.

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.
