Made a new friend today that loved the camera and the attention
.
Any comments or suggestions welcome. These are un-touched other than coverting to 8 bit jpeg and reducing the size.

Love the football shot!

Tough light in a few of the shots, not much you could do short of fill lighting.

Nice!

Thanks!
Yeah, It was mid afternoon with the sun high in the sky and I was around a bunch of trees casting shadows all around.
I would make that tiscking noise with my tongue to get his attention, and his attention is certainly what I got. He was very friendly, so friendly that at one time he actually climbed up my leg. (guess he didn't understand there is a minimum focus distance)
The area I was at for these pictures is a wildlife sanctuary where people will come out occasionally and feed them. I wasn't aware of that at the time so it kinda startled me when he came running up my pant leg. I later found that when you make that noise with your tongue he is expecting you to give him some nuts or something. Next time I'll have to take some peanuts with me.
