Getting Squirelly (Portrait)

[Chris Hansen]

While attempting to photograph birds this morning from my blind this Western Gray Squirrel kept climbing on the rock in front of my blind and peering in. No fooling that squirrel! So i finally gave in and unplugged my flash units and took its portrait. One more for Nonda I guess :)

She would be proud of this one Chris !!!!

I like the crop very much Might give a little more room at the bottom Did well balancing the settings ISO/SS Great eye contact and feel. Sharpening the whiskers would further enhance the image. I use PhotoKit Sharpener and has brushes for sharpening and dof which will help here in seconds !!! Might want to take a peak at the plug in.

Love that eye and BG! Nice job Chris.:D:D
Agree with Alfred on just a tich more sharpening!

Excellent composition, and the background is perfect.
