Nothing like fresh spinach from an Iowa garden!

Lovely image! Great composition and depth of field. The only possible nit I would have is the out of focus spinach in the lower right corner. And I can't really decide if that is a nit or not I also realize that with that focal length there isn't much else you could have done, unless this little guy is pretty habituated to you.

Love the low angle of view. I preach "Belly-Time" to my students a lot. I am usually referring to macro type stuff, but this is another great example of it working with wildlife.

The only other suggestion I might offer would be to selectively sharpen the eye just a little more. BUT, it is a great image!

Nice work, keep 'em coming!

Personally I am not a big fan of tight portraits...but you created a way that really works...a very nicely balanced composition together with the low angle. The only thing that bothers me is the greencast, which is easily fixed though.

Thanks for the helpful comments. I tried to warm up the colors a little and must have introduced the green cast then. I was sitting when I took this but the long focal length makes it look lower.

At first glance I wasn't sure about the rabbit bursting into the frame on a strong diagonal, really captures your attention. It's balanced a bit by diagonal lines in the vegetation. Lovely colors and a nice BG complement the bunny. Well done....

It's really lovely image - low angle of view, DOF and composition is great!
