Re: Squirrels

Very nice.

There's some good contrast in the first shot and it appears to be offering you a gift !

I do like the low viewpoint you've used in the 2nd and the way the ground falls away behind him really makes it stand out from the backrgound.

Re: Squirrels

Like the BW shot Dave, the Squirrels are so used to people in the park, we went there quite a few times this year, it's a lovely place with great views.

Did you take any other shots in the park?

Re: Squirrels

Thank you eileen.


Same 1st picture again, slighter darker with the whites touched down, and tail in the picture. Not sure what one is best.

Re: Squirrels

Thank you. I cropped the tail out as I didn't think all of it needed to be in the picture. Being cropped out allows me to get closer to the squirrel and the main focus then is on the squirrel praying, or whatever it's doing
