Drink Time

Image Description

While sitting in a blind watching my backyard water feature, this squirrel came up for a drink. It’s position and the light made a nice triangle. Note that it’s haunch and lower back are showing lots of newly grown hair, leaving me to wonder what happened to its hair…mange??? This is a full frame view.

Specific Feedback and Self-Critique

I like the bright angle of the squirrel in the frame and the fact that is was nicely parallel to the camera.

Oh nice catch. I often see scarred and oddly-furred squirrels and chalk it up to being so low on the food chain. The diagonal pose works much better than any other way I can think for it to get a drink, so good training them! :laughing: I’d prefer having all the back toes in frame though. Hard to do sometimes when the action is so fast.
