After the remnants of hurricane Ernesto came through, this squirrel was busy rebuilding her nest. Since she traced the same path back and forth several times, stopping in almost the same exact places each time, I managed to set up in some of them. With the clouds, the light was really nice.
My problem is the oof limb in front of her. Personally, I like it, but I think many others may not. If I crop the log out, there is even less room for the "virtual feet" of the squirrel.
Also, the almost negative space on the right is not there for movement, but rather, because I didn't want the grass to exit the frame.
I'm looking at this as one of the first 20 images on my website, but I have another of her that is even better. There will probably be 4 squirrel images in the group.
Since I'm comparing the two, the link to the other one is here:
