Cute bunny
700mm f6.3 1/250 iso640 Full Frame


Hi all

I'd be interested in hearing peoples thoughts on the composition on this one. As you can see I shot it with the eye almost dead central as it looked the best composition in camera, but going with convention...there's an awful lot of space behind him :confused: Should I have recomposed?
Shot at last light and I must say, he's got the cleanest ears on any rabbit I've seen :biggrin:

Simon

PS Please do not use the word 'crop' in your critiques - I've paid for 10 million pixels and I want to keep them! I will allow 'content-aware fill' though :wink:

Love the image Simon and would'nt get to carried away about the composition for me works well,beautiful evening light,I may have turned the camera around and done a close portrait if he'd given you time :eek: the light makes the image for me :wink: :wink: :wavey:

I cannot resist anything cute lol. This one certainly ticks all the boxes for me Simon. Comp works nicely, and that special light has given the image a wonderful feel imho. Love it!

Thats a wonderful image... only thing I think I would prefer is a tad more below and just a tad less above... Too right... keep all your pixels... :biggrin:

Light to die for Simon. I wouldn't be too worried at all with the composition on this one. Yes you could have a tad more space around top, bottom and right but the appeal of this particular subject needs it to be quite large in the frame so I'd be perfectly happy to leave this as it is. A lovely shot.

Needs a little ore room at the bottom for me Simon but otherwise full of cuteness which will always be a winner..
