It is a hare (jackrabbit) and, yes, it is wild. I was shooting a horse event and the horse scared it. It ran to near where I was and re-hid. I moved closer very slowly and it stayed put and let me photograph it. The closest I can get with that lens was 1.5 meters and that's how close it let me get. What I don't know is if the horse that scared it might have hurt it which might have been why it stayed put for me.

The clarity around in the face particularly the eye, is amazing.

Man, this is good too. Fantastic focus & DOF. The color tones are so rich, yet natural. Well done indeed.

The DOF and focus are spot on and well done. Think the crop works. This is one of those right time right place images that works out so well.

This is great. I have an affinity for rabbits, so maybe I like this shot because of that. I do appreciate his camouflage with all of the brown and beige tones. His one eye is spot on clear. Is he out in the wild??? If so, you're good - they can shoot off faster than a bullet!
