Хотелось бы чуть больше резкости и деталей, но за такие уши можно простить любые огрехи...

Wonderful ears... It seems ears are enough heavy to fall down, but they are standing like plastic ones.

Great and very natural photo. Grass blades, different plants and Hare hidden and camouflaged in the field. Naturalism is the most important value of this picture. Also good composition ans sharpnes and very informative note

Hello Alexei,
Both these hare shots are amazing, the staring eyes making the viewer want to stare back! You can almost feel the hare thinking and wondering what that man with a strange pose and something in his hand is going to do.
I like the way the ears show up against the light piece of tree trunk behind.
Technically superb and beautiful composition.
Well done and thanks for sharing this one.

Hi Alex

Fantastic POV - the hare looks so weird - we have a saying 'As mad as a March hare' - this one seems to be going for the whole year!

Excellent!!

You are getting some amazing shots! You must have great patience and be extremely quiet to get so close to all these animals. Of course the real skill then is to capture them as beautifully as you do. Pin sharp with lovely light and a great pose. As always a great note as well

Hi Alexei,
Great capture, the ears are so big!
The colours are great to, you must see the hare move because otherwise you will walk past it because he/she is well camouflaged.
Good focus and sharpness.

Hello Alexei,
A very nice dare you´ve portraited, with enourmous ears and nose. Good approaching to this nervous animal. The tree in Bg maybe not help too to the composition, but is a nice and interesting image

Hello Alexei,
The ears are just so fantastic. It definitely saw you. I should think it is scared and curious at th e same time. It will move maybe a few meters and will have another look:-)
Wonderful image!

What an interesting long legged and long eared hare this is. How fortunate to have photo ops so close to home. It looks like he just posed for you. Nice exposure and sharpness. I love wildlife shots in their own habitats.

hello Alexei,
What an apparition with ears like big spoons.
Superb natural pictures( both are great). What a funny attitude. I wonder that it didn't run away quickly. But you seem to have a secret.
Excellent management of the light, like always.
I see sometimes hares , but I never could make any picture.
Thanks so much for this fabulous posting
Have a nice day

Lol!!! I have never seen such big ears! What an amazing animal. I don't think that hare here have such long ears :) This is a very nice capture with funny expression from your lovely model. He seems very surprised to see you. This path is very busy Alexei, I wish I have a place like this here where I could see so many beautiful species. This is a beautiful composition with natural exposure and environment. The background is a little noisy, probably due to the use of ISO 400 but this is a minor nit for such a nice picture :) Thanks!

Privet Alexei,
This mate really have big ears!!!
And it seems to be large also in size.
I like the way it seems to be so alert and aware of your presence, and wondering what would be its final decision.
The focus is just the right one on the animal's head.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hola Alexei, explicaciones interesantes como de costumbre para tus fotografías. Como bien dices estos animales se van extinguiendo por diferentes motivos, aquí también, aunque los conejos siguen siendo abundantes en algunas zonas.
Buena pose de la liebre con sus características orejas alzadas y la mirada posada en tí jeje. El enfoque exacto y se puede apreciar parte se su hábitat, con exceso de luz en la base pero sin problemas.
Un abrazo: J. Ignasi Tejedor.

Hi Alexei,
It really is a path of wonders and your close encounters are just breath-taking. This is a great shot of this Hare and you have captured a fine pose and a magnificent expression. Very neat and sharp image. Among its natural environment it looks majestic with its ears held up in attention and a perplexed look on its eyes. Excellent POV and very nicely composed. Kudos.
