Went looking for autumn shots, get some autumn colours in there, i came out with 40 shots, none what i liked really, but this one of the squirrel which i quite like.

EDIT: That's like teh 3rd time i've done that, i'll try to remember next time, i'm not used to the rules on here :(

It's a good shot composition-wise I just think it needs slightly different post processing to bring out the fact that its a skwerl and not just some leaves.

Try a bit of burn on him and less saturation of the leave to see if you can make him more noticable.

Good effort, shame about the branch being in the way. Next time you go, take some nuts and spread them around a bit. Then get settled quietly, sitting within range of your longest lens and wait. Better still lie on your belly - it's easier to steady the camera. :)

Shame about the other shots, but don't sweat it... we all have duff days. ;)

Anyone else noticed the squirrel is holding a tiny lil spanner?!?!!?!

Presumably its for undoing his nuts with?

You couldn't ask for a better quirk in an image

:woot:

Animals are tricky to get right at the best of times, with the light behind him it's even harder.
