I caught this rascal a few years ago munchin' on my wife's blackeyed susans at dusk. I was able to slowly creep up on my belly and get within range to take the shot using flash. Canon A2, 100-300 USM at 300, Sunpak 433 flash set at minus 1 stop on the A2, aperture priority, Kodak Royal Gold 200.

At the burst from the flash, he was off like a shot!

U surely startled him ... an amusing shot .. caught red-handed. But the greens seem to attract too much attention.

Well done. - santanu

I don't have any problem with the greens. My only nitpick would be the yellow leaf right behind and to the right of the rabbits head. Good use of flash, you've managed to avoid the dreaded dark background problem. Nice behavioral shot. Kudos from a fellow Lagamorphophile.
