A shelter bunny. His breed is Jersey Wooley and he is a real sweetheart (adopted before the end of the month; YAY).
Liked the light on him, but thought it wasn't creative enough for the Lighting challenge, so into the FS he goes. Light coming from a window on the left side covered with a security film (very blue) and overhead flourescent light. Ended up looking like a rather classical painted portrait, except for the subject ;-)
PP - converted from RAW, cropped, reduced noise, levels, white balance, dodged eye, increased contrast, 2nd desaturated blue/yellow shadows slightly, cloned fur in several spots to look neater, desaturated around eye, colored iris a little bluer, resized, sharpened, added border.

A good solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal. A good entry into the challenge.
