This little guy is just emerging from the Verbena plant behind him, which is why he has the leaves on his face and back. He is about to munch on the Screwbean Mesquite seed cluster on the ground in front of him. I'd like some feedback on whether the leaf on his forehead detracts from the image or not.

All comments and critiques greatly appreciated. Thanks

The leaf on his forehead doesn't bother me at all--I think it adds to image a bit, in fact.

The leaves on his back, and the OOF foreground grass are more of a distraction, though.

I agree with Paul. I think pushing his/her forehead up to the leaf is kind of endearing. The leaves frame in the top part of the frame all the way around. Also agree about the grass and the brighter leaf on the back.. Cute shot!

Nice and sharp, good detail and alert posture on this furry bunny Alan, just to be contrary, I think I would prefer it without the leaf on the head, but I don't mind the others on its back, or the grass in front.

I like it as is, but without the leaf on the head would take it up a notch for me.
