Beautiful capture. I like the ripples in the water.

I immediately liked this Howard. Your timing to catch this intimate moment of a shy animals life is excellent. The ripples in the water are a nice addition to the esthetics of the attractive setting. Great to see one of those under-appreciated species so nicely photographed for display here.

What a great moment to capture Howard. The drinking pose, ripples and reflection are all superb. Very nice!

Nice image! Like the action you caught with this one. The reflection adds to this photo. Good sharpness. Thanks for sharing.

I like everything about this shot... the ripples, the reflection, the "reach" of the rabbit. Really well done.

Just what I always expect from one of your images. Sharp, well composed, and intimate.

Behavior...ripples for movement...reflection = excellent capture! I really like your orientation and low point of view, too.

I really like this image of an animal that most pass by looking for something bigger.Excellent for all the reasons already noted.
