    I photographed this in April at Ding Darling NWR Sanibel, FL. These guys are pretty tame. Let me sit there while 3 of them ate breakfast.
    Used my Sony a-100 with a Sigma 50-500 lens. 9:14 AM f/5.6,1/250, 0ev,ISO 250 at 210mm.
    Thanks for looking,
    John

    Hi John,
    Love the eye contact you captured here. A bit more of the paw may help. I may have preferred a bit more DOF for fur detail but you do have it where it counts........eyes and even nose! the BG could use a bit of noise reduction and I'm still debating a few of the twigs entering the frame.........but a nice portait of these rascals.
    PS Love the saying below your signature.

    Agree with Roman on the room around the paw !!! Branches wise the one by the ear sort of bothers me all others I'm fine with. Like the eye contact and feel the head area is sharp enough to hold my attention.

    Very cute pose making for one appealing image !!!

    I would agree with Roman's and Alfred's observations and suggestions.

    I like the eye contact in this image.. I agree on the paw.. The OOF branch in the upper right is a bit distracting. Was this cropped??

    Thanks for everyone's comments.Robert, yes this was cropped. He was in the bush and surrounded with a lot of branches. This is why only a portion of his paw is visible and no feet.
