another view, same critter... :smile:

I posted two versions of this cottontail the same week, so left off the data on this one. Amending now.

Lon,

very nice winter image, the pose is very cute and the choosen crop works fine for the composition. Nice one, because technically it looks great as well.

Lon,

I think this image is a precious one, the rabbit looks so peaceful and at ease.

The technicals are wonderful, the colors look spot on, I like the inclusion of habitat, and I think the snow really sets off the colors & cottontail.

Love the catchlight.

Great shot, Lon! I like the color of the plants in the snow, it blends very well with the rabbit. Well done! :toast:

Nice photo. I like to see people taking good pictures of common animals. Let's see more.

Great shot of an unalarmed cottontail doing what cottontails do.

Congratulations on the weekly award, very nice photo, well deserved. I was thinking about rabbits recently and wondering why I never see them around here. :confused:

F4 was perfect for this Lon, you've isolated the subject very well in the frame..
Can't beat the POV and pose here, high cute factor :toast:
