Hey Phil!!!! Did he see his shadow? Hope not for your sake!! Although maybe your flash scared him back in his hole. I like the lighting in this photo, but one man is red-eyed.
Great shot and what an interesting subject! I would prefer that he/she be a bit less centered, but nonetheless this works. Nice colors and good separation from the appropriately blurred background.
Not everyone will understand Punxsutawney, even with the groundhog. They probably won't even know what kind of animal that is. But I'm sure glad he saw his shadow in Georgia. Spring is coming. I would like for this photo to be a little lighter. Also is fixing red eyes against the rules? Never thought about that before. That's considered spot editing I guess. Great photo, just needs to be lighter for me. Great timing for this challenge for you. Lucked out. Good one.
I think I know who you are, since you posted in the forum about this, although suprisingly there were two of you that lived in the area. I think this is a super photo for this challenge. It made me laugh then smile. the perspective is nice and makes you follow the trail of top hats into the solid blue night sky. Did he see his shadow? 8
