awaraagard 0 Posted March 6, 2007 this series of shots was taken during race for life, as little rabbits r set on the loose & hounds chase them. the houd that catches the rabbit, or touches it or getts closr, wins the race. rabbit has 2 die anyway. some survive by scampering into the tiny holes & mines dug out in the ground for their safety. comments/ critique welcome.

nadeem khawar 0 Posted March 6, 2007 As a photographer I will say timing to click the shutter is extraordinary. Capturing to such subject is not so easy. It needs very hard skill. Congratulation. You are great. Showing us new dimenssions of action photography. Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted March 7, 2007 Very impressive, but I feel sorry for a little rabbit :) Link to comment
awaraagard 0 Posted March 7, 2007 lust 4 life renders amazing battles of survival. i also feel sorry 4 rabbits everywhere. it was amazing 2 see the rabbits run 4 life & how they manipulate circumstance & environment 2 save themselves. they tricked hounds by deceptive movements, sometimes abruptly shifting direction & the hounds rolled over & displaced certain joints & never moved again. many a times i witnessed little creatures escaping from the deadly jaws of hounds. it was caught & yet somehow it managed 2 run away. danger evokes all the dormant skills needed 4 survival.

Karl Schuler 48 Posted March 7, 2007 This photo series creates a confusing mix of lasting emotions. Admiration about the technical quality of the shots. Fascination about the raw ferocity of the dogs and the run for life of the rabbit. Doubts about men creating this kind of distraction for their amusement. Photographers have to tell the story. For this time I missed it. One more reason to come back. Karl Link to comment
awaraagard 0 Posted March 7, 2007 dear karl, men always initiated killing 4 amusement. kings in the ancient world built arenas where warriors killed each other 4 royal pleasure. still, in the modern world arenas hold bull fighting, rodeo etc etc. men & beasts always get killed 4 someone's joy & amusement. greek mythology relates tales of warriors who got killed 4 the pleasure of gods, " careless of mankind ", tennyson wrote. regards!

lucyhollis 2 Posted March 9, 2007 The triple photo adds another dimension to showing the action. In fact though I think that the bottom photo shows everything needed to understand the event. Link to comment
