Hi Jack,

Nice image and great colour. Although maybe another round of USM would make the bunny 'pop' a little more.

Regards Chris.

Hi Jack,

I agree with Chris about the USM. I also wonder whether it would look better cropped to pano? There is quite a lot of fg. What a super location to capture the bunny in though!!

Interesting and unusual composition. I can really empathise with what you are trying to achieve here. Not sure it works for me though. I think its because of the back-lighting, heavy shade across the top, and the real blur of the foreground. Next time...

Love the colourful setting and the positioning of the rabbit within the frame.
Pete's panoramic suggestion sounds like a good idea worth exploring.

Doesn't quite work for me either I'm afraid. Can't really state why but maybe the rimmed lighting isn't quite enough? and the comps a bit unbalanced too for me. Sorry Jack :toast:
