My first attempt at wild life photography.

I've always heard and read that wildlife photography is the hardest but for this attempt i did not made that much of an effort to be honest.

We have loads of wild rabbits around where I work - they hang around my work place ever so casually avoiding all human contact in a well choreographed act =P

This ideal situation acted as a catalyst to make me go for my first wild life shots. So one day after work started following these jumping jacks and soon realized that no matter how ideal and easy things may seem, wild life is not easy to photograph. But I kept my patience and kept following and clicking behind their trails. After around 2 hours I had around 350 shots and time to call it a day.

Out of the 350 shots I took majority were more or less the same. I decided to pick the one which had the bunny in a tight frame and were he is not busy nibbling grass.

Fixed curves and levels in PS and added a frame and here is the result.

All comments and suggestions welcome.

Very nice attempt bro
Good exposure excellent clarity the colors r vivid n focus is good, may be u can boost a little sharpness on his eye :)

using f/5.6 was ideal! loved the bokeh.
However may i disagree upon "he is not busy nibbling grass" IMHO may be it had more nature impact if he was engaged/busy nibbling grass???

Eid mubarak :)

Hi Mustafa

Nice shot of this rabbit. For a first attemps, you did very good. Shallow DOF looks great. Focus is sharp and exposure is good. Keep trying with other subject, with your "perseverance" you will build a nice wild life porfolio. TFS.
