I took this full frame photo on the Easter weekend. I spent about 25-30 minutes with this hare to gradually get this close. I was happy with the result.

Snowshoe hares are less common (at least less often seen) around Ottawa than the cottontails that seem to be everywhere.

I cloned out one thin brown plant stem that was pointing towards the hare's face.

Nice Easter Bunny ! Was this taken at 200mm ? You must have been pretty close indeed.

Nice capture. They really blend with that kind of background :)
