 Day 13 of 40

In honor of Friday the 13th, the only completely black animal in the house, Nicky. He is Jamie's husbun (as the rabbit people say).

I posed him on a black chair near a window and used the flash from the opposite side. ETA: the window is behind and to the left of him, giving the light that outlines his profile. In the silly diagram w=window, b=bunny on chair (head pointed diagonally toward window) and I'm behind the diagonal line facing the rabbit. Hope that's clearer ;-)

Wow, this image is absolutely gorgeous! You've gotten really nice detail in a black bunny (I know how hard this is with a black kitty!) AND against a black background... again, a wow! I love the little fuzz around his upper lip and whiskers visible around his nose (probably from his other lip, I dunno), really defines his cute profile. And that droopy ear... and that big sweet brown eye... ah, me thinks bunnies be about as cute and cuddly as kitties!
