Need some advice on pet photography

[Thaash]

So I did some shots with my rabbit:

I would like to hear your opinion about the pics: Cuteness, Quality, Technical stuff.

Camera: EOS 50D + Sigma 17-70 DC Macro


Ty in advance.

796 bazillion photos of rabbits have been taken and yours are nothing special. So lets try to make them special.

I notice that you do what so many do. (including me) You are looking at the rabbit like a human would = common and boring.

Instead look at this rabbit like a baby rabbit would. From down low real low. Put the rabbit on a sheet of glass and shoot it through the glass. Put the camera on the table and shoot. Look up under the chin of the rabbit. Crop out everything but the eye and face. The eye and ear. Let the rabbit lick the lens. (actually a sheet of glass with bait on it past the min focus distance then crop so it looks like it was licking the lens)

One of the all time commandments of children photography is get down to their eye level. Same thing with animals.

Otherwise they are nice enough just like the other 796 bazillion photos of rabbits. It took a while but I counted all of them. Kidding!

I would like to hear your opinion about the pics: Cuteness, Quality, Technical stuff.

Cuteness: no worries there, obviously
Quality and technical stuff: not sure how they are different. In the third one the focus is off the eye. You can do this on rare occasions for a specific effect, here it just looks like it misses the mark. When in doubt, aim for the eye.
I agree with choosing a more dynamic and natural view point. Also, just having the bunny on a neutral background can make for good technical shots, but you're not aiming for that. It's not a product shot. Unless the bunny is for sale Having him/her interact with a toy or food or you (or licking the lens - that is indeed a very cool idea) would make your shots special.
Make no mistake, overall I like them, definitely a significant squee factor, but you asked for critique...
