The black squirrel is quite common in vancouver actually, the sependipity of this shot was all the squirrels, i was trying to lure him over with some bird seed, and he was edging towards me, but then this other family threw him this huge cracker. I wasn't trying for serendipity but when got home realized it was there. : )
thanks for the votes and glad i got to show many of you the rare cajuned squirrel : )
Serendipity is a difficult concept to visualize. For me it means being at the right place, at the right time, and being lucky enough to capture something unique. Some of these entries are set up shots trying to illustrate that concept, and some record a serendipitous moment experienced by the photographer themselves. This is a good example of the latter. I like the colors, and a black squirrel is unusual. But I'm not sure it really represents serendipity.
A black squirrel? Never seen one of those...
The pic seems to be sharpest just above his head. While the leaves are distracting the add to the earthy feel of it.
Or is it a Ritz Cracker at the Windfall! It's cute and funny. If it was mine, I'd probably crop a bit tighter, but it's yours and you have a good image, hope you do well with it.
nice shot. sharp, good use of depth of field. interest with the squirrel carrying the bootie. Also cropping is good....allows him somewhere to go in the picture.
