Hi all, i would appreciate comments on this picture i took a week ago. I took it in a local cemetery where the squirrel's are quite bold. I used my new Canon 100mm Macro lens. Thanks in advance! :)

Did you glue an acorn onto the lens hood? Wow. Nice capture.

Excellent capture, but it seems to be rendered too dark on my system. Anyone else think so?

Here's my slightly lighter version:

Too dark, and too green.

Absolutely fantastic shot! Sharp, clean and full of detail.

nice shot. good details and cropping. it will be better if it's facing you, good try though.

just my 2 cents.

I think the original is just right, making corrections to get snowy white fur doesn't seem right. :)

I agree with the others that the original is a bit dark and still needs a tich of processing. I also think I would have gone with a vertical "portrait" crop with this...with a little work it would make a wonderful 8x10.

Otherwise, very good capture...and very cute squirrel to boot!

Peace,
Jim

With the little bit of PP any way you look at it, it's a great shot

How much of the tonal range you wish to make use of in an image is subjective, but natural fur on this planet isn't green :)
