 A Mountain Hare photographed as it is losing its winter coat. A bit of a stretch for habit perhaps but it's too appealing an image not to use.

Cropped, USM and fractional adjustment of levels.

Looking at this photo again I think a funnier title would have been, "Too much coffee, way too much".

Ahem... it's HABIT not HABITAT

Nice smile on the hare, but it has little in common with habits
 05/25/2004 08:07:09 PM
You might have titled this one "The Laughing Hare"! Great shot!

Not sure how this fits the topic. The expression on the hare is very cute, but the photo seems a tad overexposed.

looks fake.

It`s time to run away from this monster now.

Wow. That bunny's eyes are buggin out. This is kinda loose as far as the challenge goes but this is an amazing photograph.

 05/20/2004 06:30:26 PM
Freaky!
 05/20/2004 03:17:14 PM
I don't get a connection to the challenge. I like the hare placed off-centered as he is. I would have liked a little more DOF.

I don't get the connection to the challenge...?

 05/20/2004 02:27:52 PM
well... im not sure how this counts as a habit, but its funny as heck ! ! !

Good capture

What habit is being represented here?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/20/2004 09:13:25 AM
So far as I know, neither rabbits nor staring are habits. This is a great shot of a rabbit, and I can see why you are proud of it, but it doesn't belong here. Well, at least it rhymes with habit...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/20/2004 08:55:07 AM
Good picture, but I can't really figure out how this is a habit.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/19/2004 08:32:04 PM
This bunny scares me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/19/2004 07:32:03 PM
Habit ???? Oh... I thought you say Rabbit !

nice photo.... so cute!!!

8 for making me laugh
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/19/2004 06:50:57 PM
Nothing states Habit to more than a Rabbit with a funky smile and Marty Feldmen eyes. BTW have you kicked the heroin habit yet:-). A 10 from me
Why because I am still laughing about it 2 hours later.

Sorry having trouble following your line of thought.... sure this is not a 'Hare...bit'
As for the photo, very good detail, nicely composed with excellent dof and lighting.

If I could have made a connection to the challenge I would have given it higher marks.
