The following day after taking this photo we got a heavy rainstorm. This is on my daily walking route and I discovered this scene. It was really eye-catching.

My wife collects Pfaltzgraff and Tea Rose is her pattern of choice. Our kitchen is done with this coloring and there are Pfaltzgraff rabbits everywhere. She liked the photo so I got the hare brain idea to have a 16 x 20 print made. It is now framed and hanging in our kitchen.

I don't imagine I will get a better shot for the contest so this one is headed there. Enjoy!!

Super Sweet FDR effect makes this ONE a Keeper for sure Tick.

If that doesn't catch your eye when you walk in the Kitchen then I don't know what will. However a Thanksgiving Buffet might do the Trick. LOL.

Great Work!

Countless repetitions here Tick. I can imagine how it looks framed and all. Hope we can add "1st prize Winner" on the bottom right corner.

You should have titled this "Where's Wabbit?" LOL. This is pretty cool. I can understand why your wife liked it so much. Excellent work, Tick!

The shot's a beauty, TicK. Looks like Mother Nature had you and the contest in mind when she sent the storm. Really nifty shot and brilliant colors. However if my kitchen was colored like this, I wouldn't be able to eat. I think this has a chance of doing well in the contest. I suppose you'll replace the shot at the last minute.

It's like a "hare-brained" version of "Where's Waldo," except in this case it's finding the white rabbits among all those curved off-white shapes. From your text I had a feeling there was something hiding in here (and from reading the comments after I wrote this one, apparently only Jim spotted them as well). A cool capture and definitely one for the repetition contest.

Well I have heard of the Barefoot Contessa, but can't rightly say I've ever heard of the Barefoot Bunny.

A great job on hiding the two bunnies in this wonderful image. I'm sure in a month or two the scene will be littered with rabbits and you'll be hard pressed to spot a flower. Great colours and a good choice for the contest. Best of luck.

I don't think it's possible for this to not win the contest.. It's right in front of you and yet so many of them it makes you nearly blind. Amazing capture! Good luck.

Tick - Magnolias are so beautiful - until the petals drop - then what a mess. You have captured that mess in a way that made it into art. Kudos! (My neighbor is in her yard daily cleaning up the falling petals. She is not thinking about art this morning.) Thad
