Baby Groundhog

<TABLE class=ic_text width="100%" bgColor=#efefef><TBODY><TR><TD>I was out a few days ago and ran across this little guy. His mother scampered right into the den, but the baby posed for a few shots. Another car stopped and scared him away.

1DMK2 with 500 F4 and 1.4 X TC hand held. Evaluative metering at ISO 500 and f 5.6 and 1/1000. Slight crop from all sides and the usual PS stuff.

All comments most welcome. Thanks for looking.

You have a cute subject and a great foreground. Great job on the sharpness. A slight turn of the head would have improved the overall composition. The background is somewhat distracting, perhaps moving slightly to the right or the left would have yielded a better BG. Your exposure is just fine. Good job hand-holding this big lens

Joel pretty much covered it I think. It would be nice to see more of the legs and feet too I think.
