Rabbit backlit lurking in Dock leaves (Rumex crispus) Thacka Beck, Penrith Cumbria by Tom Scott, on Flickr

Nothing too exciting, I was wandering through a local flood plane abundant with wildlife. I heard a russel and this rabbit popped its head up, It was chomping on some doc leaves .With it being backlit I couldn't resist.

Love the look in the bunny's eye!

Lovely dpc. Not hard to imagine how sheep came to be domesticated is it. My nephew has a second house at Radium, BC and the mountain sheep are all over the yards there.

Thanks, Jack! Sheep, indeed, are appealing creatures.

I managed to get out this morning, this was a first for me, an Eastern Sandfish. It was about 8" long and after 10 minutes it was completely at ease with my presence, it came within 3 feet of my position!
Shot with my 5DIII and 100-400L + 1.4xTCIII, f10, 1/1000th, ISO 400.

Hi Steven.
A truly beautiful shot, such a delight to see, I hope these young can do the same for their young some day that future generations will get to share such beauty. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers, Graham.

Thanks jack & Click. To be so close to these magnificent animals, on foot, is quite an experience. I woke up at 2am one night, with an elephant about one meter outside the mosquito net, eating from the tree above my tent. Magical!

Very nice! The experience was amazing I'm sure.

Curious, why didn't you use your flash for this shot? ;D

He he, I´ve been told that elephants don´t fancy flashes, so I decided to go with available light

During my trip to Mana Pools, Zimbabwe, I shot more than a thousand elephant images. I find these large and majestic animals, who move so silently, very fascinating. One night, I woke up from a sound above my tent. I thought it was a bird, but looking out through the mosquito net, I saw an elephant just inches away from me, as he was eating from the tree above my tent. Quite an experience ...
