 This is Mido, one of five squirrels currently sharing my backyard, this photo was taken through my living room window, which hasn't been cleaned for several months, the original clearly showed many imprefections in the colors and contrasts and I thought it was totally hopeless, but it's amazing how much improvement can be made when shooting in RAW using standard RAW conversion settings.

This doesn't say garbage to me without the title. Also, white balance seems tungsten or bad auto. Cute squirrel though!

Pretty sharp photo, good job on the focus. A couple of blown highlights on the bowl though but nothing that is really bothering me. Like this shot, the muted colours work well, gave it a 7.

Very nice capture I like the colour tones in this image, it gives it a very soft yet very clear appearance.
