    This little fellow is prey for most of the critters that are posted here. :D I shot this image in YNP while waiting for a bluebird to get close enough for a good image.

    It is cropped, sharpened, & adjusted in curves with slight saturation. It was HH while sitting on the ground & using my knees & face as a tripod.

    Hi Andrew !! Nice little critter and yes they are way down in the food chain !!

    I like the pose and surroundings, wish he was further up/down from that broken stump, sort of competes with his head, eye keep going to that area !! Face is slightly soft !

    Tech wise not sure what camera your using? ... but might consider raising the ISO, most perform so well 400 is about standard !!

    ... did you get the bluebird?

    Thanks Alfred. I see what you mean about the stump, but now there is nothing I can do to change. I am learning to be more cognizant of the BG thanks to this forum.

    Yes, I did get a few bluebird images.

    I am using a Mrk III.

    Would echo Al comments Andrew, personally as I have said before, (;)) I would strongly suggest you use 400 as your default setting and focus point on the eye. Crop wise would half the space above the head.
