    Found a family of four of these kids today, warming up in the sun! Awesome day, Roman, don L, Mike S., Milt B. and myself all converged on this "bugger" at the same time. Looked like a BPN Get Together!

    Nice image of this little guy. Found himself a great place to bask in the sun. Good exposure and sharpness on the coon. I might tone down the bright areas of the stump a bit.

    You must have taken this when i was running back to my car to grab TC:) agree with Todd on toneing down the perch but other then that he is one cute critter.

    Great perch for the racoon Don. Super detail in its fur. Nice shot.

    Don,

    I really like your shot of the young racoon and you caught him on a nice stump as well. Everything is sharp and well-detailed.....a fine image. Very cute little guy or gal, as well.

    Nice detail and I like his body position on the top of the stump. Almost like he's trying to hide himself into the top. I'd crop out the vertical stump on the left.

    Don a very nice capture. I would agree with cropping out the stump on the left and darkening the highlights on this remaining stump. Always nice to get a raccoon out in the open

    Don - nice pose and very cute subject. I agree with the other suggestions about toning down the stump and trying a crop on the lhs to remove the other stump.

    TFS,

    Nice and sharp - good crisp look to the tree and raccoon and soft BG. I wold crop off the left part (at the notch) and get the raccoon out of the center of the image.

    Hey Don,
    Just wandered into the wildlife forum!!! Nice to see this one! Had a blast as usual and can't add to the advice above.....so just the small tweak will make this a winner!
