This rabbit pretty much lives in my yard now, it's getting big too !!

Rabbit

just a little photo to work on a few things.. I am currently working on getting a smooth clean bright look, rather then the hard lines of sharp focus. It's something I've seen here many time and not so easy to find the right balance

not my first of this type,, just Mr Rabbit presented himself tonight and asked to be photographed and I thought it was a good candidate to play with.

thanks for viewing,

Vin

I like the way he's "posed". Looks like a chocolate Easter bunny!

Love those paws up in the air. Very cute and the softer focus is very appealing here...gives it a softer more cuddly feel than a sharp documentary feel. What you were after it looks like. Great job with it

Good job on Mr. Rabbit Vin. I really like the brightness that you're trying for. I think you got it there. Love that transparent frame too.

He is so cute. Looks like he is ready to hop away.

Apparently a very cooperative rabbit, just coming around and posing for you. Is he hanging around waiting for your garden to come in? Nice shot, thanks for sharing, and good to see something from you. Been a while

"Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter. They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big fir-tree." Beautrix Potter.

Aha, the clues are coming together, you've found cottontail in Vins back garden, we know that jakes got flopsie, that just leave mopsie and Peter.
Come on Watson, the games afoot


Lovely work my friend
