I was taking pictures of rabbits today, and I found this little cutie, he stood up on his back legs for a few seconds and I managed to catch the moment

Canon 7D, canon 500mm f4 lens, f5.6, 1/125 sec ISO 400

Cute little fellow!
Nice detail in the fur, and good pose. I might move him a bit left so not so centered, and the large flower on the right side would support that.

He looks really good, Ron. I agree with the framing suggestion to move him from center. In fact, I suspect the 7D file would support some cropping and if you have plenty of detail left I would consider cropping much of the foreground OOF zone and then all around enough to leave the rabbit in the left third frame and the flower in the lower right third. Hope that makes sense!

Cute image Ron, if only it would be chowing a carrot this would be reminding me of a very famous rabbit :biggrin: Great low angle and good techs. Personally I would warm it up just a little. I agree on cropping some from the bottom and a bit off the left.

Super Cute !!

I am with Sandy on moving it a little towards the left. I like the foreground and would retain it.

Nice low angle and I like the centered composition.

He is cute. Nice choice on DOF. He is very well demarcated from the foreground and background.

I love the DOF and colours and it's a very cute pose. I think you could probably sharpen a bit less, since there's enough detail in the fur and that would make the background softer. But great image as is. :toast:
