    I like the image but would suggest one simple adjustment, select subject, inverse, curves, and lower a little, I appreciate it is very bright but I feel a little contrast in the background makes the image a bit easier on the eye .....WDYT - bet you disagree!!

    Crispy little critter, I like the image a lot. You handled the bright light well and nailed the light angle. Nice work on the techs. Thank you for sharing, Andreas.

    Very nice portrayal of a ground squirrel, Andreas. This just shows how they use the tail as a parasol...to diminish the environmental heat load

    Love those creatures, they are so energetic! Fun pose and good detail in the shadow areas. Well exposed ( whew, light was very harsh !) and processed. Colours are spot-on.

    Many thanks for sharing, a pleasure to view,

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea
