Easter Bunny

Gallery: WildlifePosted April 24, 2011121 views7 comments

This was taken early today, this Easter Sunday morning..
And what's Easter without a bunny? :)
Cottontail rabbits are active all year long, foraging mainly at night. During the day they remain concealed in dense brush, protected from predators and harsh weather.
F/5.6, 1/125th, ISO 640, 1D M3, 300mm f/2.8 + Kenko 2x ext around 8:45 and overcast. I removed two blades of grass that came up across the animals face & ear.

Lots of good detail, Howard. Love those ears and sparkling eye. The fg grass works well showing habitat, and the flower is icing on the cake.

Good, Howard! The yellow flower in mouth is a wonderful bonus! Nice photoshop work with the removal of those grass stems, as I can not detect any evidence of it.
