Squirrel portrait

[Alfred Forns]

Also made while going after buntings at the feeder. The little guy was a little further away so i used a 2X Wasn't sure if it would work since the shutter speed was low. This is basically the entire frame... could have used a little less FL !! ... btw not much light at the feeders in the shade.

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Mr. Forns,
This is another Hollywood star in the making...:D:cool:
I like the close up pose...well done Sir...:)

[Lance Peters]

Al - another nice squirrel, love the details and in particular the framing/crop. Love the reflections in the eye.
Congrats :)

Nice shot! Like the close up pose and sharp details. My only suggestions would be to run some noise reduction on the BG and lighten it a tad.

[Alfred Forns]

Great point on the noise Christopher ... didn't run Noise Ninja .. so used to the D3 :)

[Cheryl Flory]

what do you mean "a little less FL"?

[Nonda Surratt]

I like the pose, a lot, and I think darker is fine, sqs are all about shadow and light.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Like the framing Al, agree with Christopher about maybe a little lighter and some NR.
