Virtual Photographer - Black & White Flashback
I wish I had used a smaller apperature, and maybe a lower ISO, but she's quick, and with the lighting, I had to get the fastest shutter I could, or I would have nothing but a blur.

8 - Nice, toning works well, nice composition and crop. Fairly minor, but the few 'blown' areas. Like to have discerned a little more detail, despite the softness.
This photo is a good close-up shot of the rabbit. I like the tight cropping because you get to see this bunny up close. I do have a small critique on the cropping and that is I think you shaved it a little too close. I think the whiskers on the left side could have been included to further visual appeal. Next it appears that there is a tad of soft focus on the rabbit - I don't know if the downy softness of the fur is tricking my eyes or if you did utilize a soft focus to give a soft dreamy look. Regardless that soft "look" helps the composition because it adds a sense of touch to the photograph. The viewer gets a 'feel' on how soft this downy white rabbit is. You keep your background simple and clean so that the focus remains on the rabbit. The black background also offers the best contrast to the white rabbit so that it really pops of the page.
Your model really suits the soft editing treatent that you have given. While maybe not a knockout picture it has a great feel to it and is a pleasure to view (and its not a stinky dog). 7
