| I like this one the best of the bunch; "capturing" a "wild" beast this way is always gratifying, even if it doesn't take death defying measures to get the shot (this is what I like shooting, too). I like this one the best for the reasons that Karen said, as well as some of the strong photographic elements: the very narrow depth of field is perfect, with both foreground and background blur bringing me right to the subject, but looking natural with the plane of focus clearly defined (ie, you didn't try a process induced radial blur around the squirrel, which sometimes looks quite fake). I would love to see a tiny bit more contrast on the squirrel, who because of the gray still has a tendency to get a bit lost in the frame for me. Perhaps selecting him (even loosely), and bringing up his contrast (and maybe messing with other bits while you've got him there) might work (but honestly, it could also ruin the shot; I can't always tell the difference on my own shots, so take my suggestion with a large grain of salt). |
