I like "your" rabbit very much…
Well seen.

I agree.

(But I'm not sure how it fits the theme of "Portals.")

That's also a mystery for me!

Maybe that black crack is rabbit hole!

It may not. It is one of six so perhaps its companions will contribute some credence to "theme compliance." The crack and darkness, in my mind, is an entrance to something not discernable from this side.

Thank you for your comments, -t

I think we need to see some of the companion images.
In my experience, once you see two rabbits, you are likely to see several more very soon...

I don't want to hi-jack this thread but since I think that you'd love to see plenty of rabbits, here's mine.  :D

By the way, the more I look at Todd's rabbit, the more I like it!

LOL  Like guinea pigs and ducks!
I submitted 6 to the call for entry. One, "extant" I have already posted here. These are the other four. The reflecting mirror does not fit with the rest but it was a CFE and it may fit with what the juror wants

Hey Francois, I think your wonderful rabbit has a tummy ache. And like the "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," he should learn to stop eating human food.

Todd your approach so far -if I can call it that- seems to be interpreting and creating impressions of subjects in a way that gives them an unusual interpretation or ambiguity. One has to really look to see what is intended or meant by the images. Interesting but not always easy to discern from an ordinary snapshot.

I think Todd should change the first "t" in his last name to a "b"   ;).

John, you must be right… The shot was taken at the local hospital, in the pediatric imaging waiting room.  ;)

John,
Thanks. I have gone back through lots of your posted images here to study and hopefully learn from comparison -beautiful work. If you would be willing, please be blunter. It is hard to understand what is good before I understand what is bad. Unfortunately, I am thick-headed but I can and do want to get it. -thanks -/t
