This cottontail was resting in my backyard, could not resist taking a few photos. It seemed so relaxed in the early spring sun.

Sweet! It must be relaxing for the back feet to sprawled out. Nice comp and exposure!

Well captured and presented. I would have just liked that little bit of toe on the left to balance the image. Still, great job.

Sweet pose and you were able to get in good and close ! The subject is a little tight in the frame for me however and I think this might work better as a standard horizontal format vs the squarish framing presented here. The photo "may" be a little bit underexposed, you could consider lightening it globally. The rabbit blends in very well with the habitat, as prey they need to be able to do that of course. The dark eye and those vertical ears maintains my attention nicely on the rabbit.

Cute capture, the clipped left foot is unfortunate and more space overall would've been nice though. Thanks for sharing!

Nits already covered. What I like is the unusual pose and the sense of serenity.
