Well John, perhaps one of your best to date, nicely framed, well exposed, DoF looks good, but 1/25.
PP looks good, albeit on the laptop, however it's all moving in the right direction. My only wish would have been is for the second ear to be in view and if you had moved a bit more to you right, then the OOF grass blade wouldn't be over the side of the nose, but at least it's clear of the eye here!
I like this a lot, the way it is sort of portected by the grasses. I'd tone down the YELLOW in the GREEN a bit.
with love, artie

What a cute little bundle, John! Perfectly tucked in among vegetation and the expression is priceless. Nice framing, interesting techs, especially SS - wow, you pulled it off again
I won't comment on colours, a bit difficult for me as I have never seen the species. Image well exposed and also nicely processed, detail is good. Wondering whether it's you in the reflection/ eye of the little Cottontail?
Please keep those images coming, I find them truly delightful.
Kind regards,

Hi John another nice frame of that species . Well done and you got the lovely low POV without getting too much of grass in front of the subject !!!
PP looks really good i think , specially the colors .... even if being personal taste most of the time .
You seem to be really brave to go that slow on the SS with that long lens ...
I like it John well done, I find the grasses just a little yellow. You were on a tripod, 1/25 sec is slow but if the rabbit was still and it is a decent tripod well you get a decent shot. The touch screen shutter is something I used sparingly because you can "squeeze" the shutter button in a vertical plane whereas the touch screen is lateral or fore/aft so I would suggest is possibly more likely to induce camera movement.
Good focus and colour/exposure John and I like the little bit of luminance through the ear---as always on grassy backgrounds you've got the problem of "what colour is green?" .....or should I say " what colour was the green" ? but that's always fun to play with and I've got no objection to your choice here although I would have experimented with Arthur's suggestion of reducing the yellow content.
