This is so beautiful and not the expected shot from you. The orange tones are delicious amidst all of the green. Man, the DOF is perfect. I can almost smell the hot summer day! Great job.

Hi from the Critique Club!

I really did not want to get this one. I went to confession twice having voted on this one and my husband thinks it is our new screensaver!

And this is a first for me - I pulled this yesterday and decided to leave it till the morning. As a result I had a series of nightmares: I was working at a big company and left for a holiday. I forgot about the two rabbits in the cage by my desk. When I returned the rabbits had multiplied but were all thin and diseased from lack of food and water. When I tried to pick them up they fell through my fingers as there was nothing to hold on to! I tried to hide all this, but someone found out. EVERY one in the company shunned me, practicaly spitting at me in disgust when they passed. I decided to leave, got into the lift to go down 6 floors, only the lift kept going and speeded up. It just kept going down and down and I was convinced I was going to die. See what you did to me?:))

This is a lovely black and white image. It's one of the few that I don't have to think 'is it high contrast or not?'. It meets the challenge perfectly.

Compostionally, there is a lovely balance between the subject and negative space. The viewer's eye is led back and forth between the model's eyes and the rabbit's eye, ensuring the image is not static.

There is so much expression in the model's eyes that you can't fail to feel 'something' when you look at them. Blame the nightmare, but I can't help thinking of 'Fatal Attraction' when I look at it - when Glenn Close boils the rabbit in the pot. If you had her instead of Fetor in this image, it would have been the perfect publicity poster for the film:)

The blacks in the image are wonderful. I love the way the black body of the rabbit has melted into the black background.

To be honest I never even noticed the pillow before - too busy looking at...well you know...but changing it to white was simply the icing on the cake.

What more can I say? I'm off for a bit of counselling and another visit to the confessional;)

Sweet use of depth of field here. Superbly composed. Don't let people tell you that you've got blown highlights on the tabletops. It looks great. Thanks for sharing this beautiful image.

I think the tables should be angled across the picture instead of going straight down the center. I also don't like the glare on the glass
