This is an awesome shot. The colors are great in it. The DOF is perfect, but to me it looks a tad soft. The pose you've captured is awesome, with his tail up in the air and munching down some food. The composition is very nice as well. The flower to me is a bit distracting.
Ooo! Such a nice squirrel shot! I like the wetness of the grass, the POV and the soft, soft fur! How do you do it? Love the way he is munching with his little cheek puffed out. You even have a sprig in the background making this shot worthy of "Better Homes and Gardens"...or something like that :)
Agree with everyone .. Strong image indeed. Shooting from ground changes the perspective taking it to another dimension altogether.
Well done. It has magic!
Tidbit: I hate squirrels.. They cause too much trouble.I bought a sling shot which has proven to be a pretty good investment.
The ground level point of view makes this shot a lot stronger than it would have otherwise been. The wet grass and front paws, and the one sprig of plant in the BG also add a lot to making the photo engaging to view.
Awww, but it's a very adorable squirrel with a lovely bokeh flower in the background. I think they're cute, squirrels. And this one has such a big fluffy tail which he's put up so nicely for the picture!
