Morning Ed,
You can't help liking them, they can be nuisance but you can't help but like them 
.
Ed if you have "Elements, PS etc" you can pull a little more detail out if you wish. Go to "Exposure" and when the window opens there should be three eye droppers, select the bottom one and click on something white/off white, I used the tail, then select the middle one and clickon a dark area. This will really lighten the image but don't worry about that, using a mask and black brush erase the effect from the grass then drop the strength to between 40 - 45% and do the same with the ears, tail and any other bright spots on the rabbit to help it blend in. Next select the "Dodge Tool" and set between 4-9% click a few times on the catchlights in the eye's.
Posted a mos Ed, let me know what you think.
Take care
Martin
Martin's mod has certainly lifted it. What I find really attractive in your image is the back light through his ear - it positively glows 
Helen
Great shot Ed, not shortage of these around our way, funnily enough they breed like rabbits!
Heath
Love the backlight Ed, the mod has lifted the shadows great, there is a very easy way to get light on dark areas or vica versa, in camera raw next to the gradient tool is the adjustment brush, this is an awesome tool, you can add or subtract light just by brushing the area you want to effect, with a small brush and exposure set to plus one stop brush over the dark part of rabbit and watch the light appear, there are other sliders then to control brightness contrast and clarity, this is an excellent and easy tool to use, hope this helps mate.

Trev.
that Martin is a clever so and so 
thats another tip might help me
as for your picture I find it quite appealing with the back light
Love the light coming through the ear... Cute snap
You did well to get this close Ed', well done.
John
Many thanks for the advice Martin, I'll try and put this into practice. I don't have photoshop but i do have picassa and photofiltre
Many thanks for all your comments and clicks and to Martin for his excellent mod, it is greatly appreciated, Ed
Cute....agree with you about Martin's mod, brings the picture up nicely
Sue
The ears glow in the light, they probably buzzed with Easter calls an reclamations
The mod is well done
