Sure! :)

The brow is the "eyebrow" band on the top of the head. It should be nice and full, like the photo below. Making the head massive and rounded, rather than flat.

Not like this bunny below, where the brow is flat and makes the head appear long and snipey.

Yep! See how the above buck has a more square head, caused by the brow? Whereas, the second rabbit has a more slender, oval head because it is missing that brow.
