    It's a strange angle for me. Left eye looks weird - was it damaged?

    Exposure seems off as well as you are losing shadow detail in the bunny and clipping highlight detail in the sky.
    Hope that may help.

    Well it's a black rabbit against a bright sky so there's going to be exposure issues, but I don't think you did a bad job with it. It's a cute little guy, and I like your composition as well as the bokeh in the background.

    I would have liked to see more room at the bottom where he appears to be missing some toes. I think the colour version may be better if that grass is green because I think he'd pop off the green grass a little better. There are some exposure issues but with what you had to work with that's probably the best you can do unless you are going to HDR which if you shot in RAW you might be able to do a single image HDR to get enough range to fix it up. That being said, it's a cute bunny and all but unless it's your pet I'm not sure I'd go through that much trouble for a cute bunny.

    Thank you guys for your comments.
    The angle is a bit odd but as you know how Mr. Bunny reacts when it comes to posses that was the best I got I am thinking that I might have pushed a bit too much on my post processing on the conversion to BW. Is the color version any better?

    I'm a big fan of colour and I much prefer the colour one. I think Mr. Bunny pops off the green grass just a little more nicely.
