It’ s not in the same league as Allen Sparks’s recent squirrel photo, but his reminded me that I’d taken some shots from my deck into the yard when a few of these guys were stuffing themselves on Ironwood seeds. Boy to they love them. While not shoveling them in, they were bickering and chasing for the best branches. This one stayed here until it was cleaned out!
Specific Feedback Requested
Really don’t know how I could have shot this one differently. Rodents do what rodents do and you just have to wait and be ready for them. Ideas welcome.
Technical Details
Handheld, might have been braced on the deck railing, but I forget
Lr for a bit of a crop and some general work to smooth tonalities. Topaz DeNoise & then Ps to remove a distracting branch.
Just too cute, Kris! They can sure get into some positions, especially for food. Wonderful details in his fir. Nice lighting as well. They can be quite entertaining.
Thanks @linda_mellor, @Diane_Miller, @Allen_Sparks, @Shirley_Freeman & @terryb - they are entertaining, that’s for sure. And they make good practice subjects for wildlife photography. I couldn’t pass this up. Plus with my deck on the 2nd floor, I was right in line with how high this one was.
