I spotted this leveret in the field by the back garden so I grabbed my camera and got as close as I could, I guess it was about 17m distant from the field gate. I waited until he put his head down to feed and then I went up to the gate hoping it would break up my outline. I got a few images but something spooked him and off he went. I think he sensed the impending thunderstorm. Not the most exciting image I admit but I was grateful for being able to get within photographing distance.

Hi Jon .. glad you managed a decent distance to the Leveret .
Comp does work well as does the overall color / tone combo .... does look cute the little one .
Nice one Jon ... I would just lower the sharpening in the subject

Thanks Andreas, |I have to admit I did consider the sharpening for a while, I didn't apply much at all, the partially damp fur seems to make it look more sharpened I think.
 
Your Leveret is super cute, Jon! Glad you managed a clear shot, this chap is so tiny :S3:

Good choice of techs, nice pose and HA. Well composed and exposed, lovely natural colours. I also like those dew drops on the grass.

Subject does appear a little too sharp, I agree with Andreas. Otherwise no nits, all works for me. Just hope this little one comes back and you get more opportunities :w3

Thank you so much for sharing,

Warmest regards,

Hi Jon, again this less below format, just doesn't offer many options IMHO.

Sharpening covered, but the colour is off, the Green is too dominating, you need to get a better balance, then you cn see other colours.
