Very nice shot! Great focus and depth of field. I might recommend cropping a little more off the bottom to get him a little more out of the center of the shot.

Are the colors naturally that rich or did you adjust the saturation a good bit?

Hi Paulo

Actually I would be tempted to crop a tad off the top rather than the bottom, as it would give room for the squirrel to run into. Certainly I would revisit the colour, as the saturation is rather 'intensive'. By dropping it you will, IMHO have a more 'reflective' image of a great little fellow.:)

On my monitor the colour looks right!!! maybe I need another calibrator....
I have aded a litle more saturation before raw convertion, maybe was too much, but I haven´t noticed anything on my monitor. The colours of some of this guys are really this red/orange, others are more brown.


Thanks for yours comments.

Love this image !!! Just never seen one so I can't comment on the saturation but does look pleasing Great looking little guy !!!

[Ed Cordes]

Great detail and color. I agree about the crop from the bottom. I think the color is super.

Another vote for crop from the top, I too have not had the pleasure to see one of these so can not comment on the colors.TFS
