    Default Squirrel on a stick :-)



    I lurk here but usually dont post as I dont have many good mammal photos. This one is from the spring. Usually we dont get to see squirrels perched like birds.

    It was late in the day( I was shooting some night herons) and I did not have my tripod. Had to underexpose in camera and then pull it up in RAW conversion. Had to do a lot of NR on the BG. I have missed some spots. The noise in the squirrel is probably helping in making it look sharp :-) There was a slight camera shake as well. Do you see a magenta cast? I am bad at detecting casts.

    40D. 300 f/4 non-IS and 1.4x. iso 640; f/5.6; 1/50; Braced the lens against a tree if I remember correctly.

    All critiques welcome.

    Beautiful shot Kaustubh. Lovely pose and details. Even got a good head angle.

    Thx David. Needless to say, the bird photographer inside me was thrilled when I came across this squirrel perched like this.

    Nice shot of a fox squirrel Kaustubh. As said, the tail curl is very cool and the rim lighting around the chin is nice as well.

    Good pp work on getting a very pleasing image. The BG and tail curl really make this image, well done.
