 This racoon loves to come eat out of our feeders at night. I held the flash unit tight to the glass window and the camera also tight to the window, about 2 ft. above the flash, and shot the pic.

Scary! The direct flash is a bit offputting, but I don't know of any other way to do it. Escpecially if the racoon was wild. But overall, a really great capture!

Nice and sharp. Because there is no real colorful aspects to this image it might look nicer as a B&W.

Ugh! You are a brave soul to try to get this image. Check out the claws on it! Good job.

Awwh. Cute.
The small glare spots here and there detract from it slightly but not horribly. Heck, you got a picture of a raccoon. hat must've taken some effort. ;)
