Nice contrast. The b&w works well here -- the rabbit really stands out. Speaking of standing, that is such an unusual pose for a rabbit. I have rarely seen the hind legs fully extended like that.

ETA: I'd love to know how you processed this.

I like the water drops. They are so bright and clear. I really miss the color though, I don't think this converted well to b&w.

Interesting. It doesn't look at all rose like -- especially those shiny smooth-edged leaves. The difference between wild and hybrid is quite amazing.

Nice sharp detail for such a severe crop. I think our rabbits are called marsh rabbits. I wonder if they are the same. Perhaps not, because I think our rabbits have shorter ears.

How wonderful. The tack sharp branch, really sets off the blur of the action. The colors are like a flame -- blue down in the center and yellow above. The light is so good too, with that dark background for contrast.

Cute kid. I like the tight curls on his head. It's funny that you should choose a child for the wild challenge. I have always felt that photographing children of this age is just like photographing wildlife.

Very ominous, both the bird of prey and the stormy sky. I'd try to sharpen the silhouette, perhaps with a very fine clone tool around the edge.

I adore the light in this photo. You did an amazing job of combining your images. I would really like to know how you did it. There is so much vibrancy in this landscape. The composition draws me in. I even feel hesitant to enter, because that tall grass looks like it harbors a lot of ticks. I'll just have to pull on my boots and go for it.

This is a nice field guide sort of photo, but I like the first one better. That one gives me the feel of the natural setting, and I like the way the branches sweep up to the top left corner. I don't mind the fact that the bird is looking out of the frame. However, you did a great job of removing the branch and that is a big improvement.

Too bad about the DQ. This is still an outstanding creative portrait. Beautiful.
