Newbie with a T3

Don't know what it is but I took it.

Its OK. I would crop him out of center frame. The grass could be a little richer green.

BTW, it looks like a nutria (or nutra rat, people eat them down here in Louisiana).

EDIT: its not a nutria

Isn't that a beaver?

Groundhog my guess. Looks good. Crop would be nice on him .

I agree, great capture but a crop would do wonders for the picture. Maybe increase the vibrance just a but but be carful not to over do it. That should give you a greener greens.

MM hard to tell if we could see his tail. I am not sure about the groundhog unless he is a youngin??

Looks like a gopher.

Looks like a young woodchuck. And I guess folks eat them too. Someplace.

It looks sharp and well exposed. I'd agree with a crop. Not bad at all.

Almost definitely a young woodchuck or groundhog (same thing). I assume you just took that recently? Agree with crop and pushing up the green in the grass a bit.

Thanks for all the comments so far. Looks like I need to go reading because i've heard of pictures being croped, but I wouldn't know where to start doing this. Whatever it was it definitely didn't have a tale like a rat.

What software do you use to edit your pictures? I'm sure someone here would be familiar enough with it to explain how to crop the image.

But in your reading, check out the rule of thirds too.

BTW - welcome to the forums.

Right now I am not editing any of the pictures, but I have heard of people using the software that came with the camera. I'll start with that software that came witht the camera.

Rule of thirds?

Thank you!

Rule of Thirds - simple but effective concept.

Wow! I've eaten (deep fried) frog legs and like them. Rats... pass! Don't eat this creature. He looks cute . He looks like Punxsutawney Phil.

How do they differ from gopher?
