rabbit

[panthrcat]

I have always wanted to get shots of rabbits, so here are a few I got.

this one is my fav,, he wasn't worried about me being so close and decided to clean his huge paw!!

[dockothebay]

Oh my gosh - the last one cracks me up!! Talk about big feet!!! Nice catch -

[Jim Uran]

Yep, that last one is awesome.. HAHA!!!!!

[panthrcat]

thank you both.. I was thrilled with the capture, yet (and I'm hoping one of our experts can help) it doesn't have the "punch" I'm after,, can someone help me with contrast and stuff with these?

Great shots. Not to be picky, but those are actually hares, not rabits.

ok smarty pants what's the difference?

A rabbit is a rabbit, same year round. Hares change colors with the seasons. Actually what you have there is a snowshore hare. Just sayin'.

ok thank you very much for clarifying that for me,, I really didn't know that,, now I do!

Wow, that paw is as large as his head.

Just opening the shadows some can really help. All I did was open the shadows 12% and a little USM. Unless a person spends much more time on it, there isn't alot more a person can do without blowing the whites or over darkening the blacks. The histo shows it from end to end.

Sue, I keep coming back to the picture of the snowshoe - I think you should print a couple of 8X10's and give them to your sister-in-laws for Christmas

oh boy wouldn't that stir the pot? but I like the way you think

[Birdsong]

I love him and his big paw. Now that's quite a snowshoe. Wish mine were built in like that. Well, as big as my feet are, they kind of are built in. Mike's work helped it. Maybe selecting his eye and sharpening just that? Did you try different crops? I really like him, though. And I like the environment a lot even if there is little contrast. I am really partial to those fall and winter grasses.

Maybe with all but the middle toe photoshopped out?

Yep, that's one thing I do quite often. Good idea.

[fishinchicks]

That last shot is priceless. I like Mike's editing as well.

[Catmendo]

Very nice Sue! The last one is awesome!

That outstretched paw is remarkable! I've seen a number of snowshoe hares in my day and have never seen something like that.

Such a well captured moment, so cool! I love the unobstructed intimacy of the third image. Well done.

What he said!

[panthrcat]

I was thrilled when he actually started to clean his tootsies for me,, he did all 4 of them,, his back feet then his front paws,, I was beside myself afterwards! I couldn't wait to get home so I could see it full size!

thanks again folks!!

[Dbl]

Cool stuff, I like that paw shot as well!

[mmeyer]

Very cool shots. That last one is very neat. I've never seen a snowshow hare and I still can't figure out how they got their name.

[JayinMN]

Perfect time on the last shot, it is awesome!

[wishing for walleyes]

Very nice detail in every picture.
