Haha, just noticed something that made me laugh. It looks like my avatar is taking the picture of the rabbit...and it just so happens that my wife took the avatar picture with her phone while I was taking the shots in this thread!

Love it when they freeze and pose ...... Next time (if ever) try getting down in a crouch and changing the angle of perspective to the rabbit's eye. While not always possible the accepted rule is to try and get on the same focal level as wildlife's eye .... or as close as possible. And I do know that doing so is not always possible.

Thanks for the tip. I was just trying to take as many shots as I could before he ran away, but next time I'll see if I can get lower without scaring the animal off. :)
