This chipmunk froze in place when it saw me, hoping it would be invisible if it didn't move. I did see it, and because it was so still, I was able to take my time snapping pics. Even though I was using my 300mm, I still got very close.

I got a lot of comments about the white background on this one, and I appreciate the input. This was the natural background. There was bright sun shining behind the chippy. I simply didn't want to alter the photo that drastically by changing the background.

the edge of the white area has some weird haloing going on. Good composition, though.

Love the chipper! But it seems to have lost detail in the fur by trying for a white background.

Lots of potential here...the white is just too bright making the edges look unatural. Nice capture otherwise.

I would have preferred if the whole animal was in the picture- more of his (or her) stripes. Stark white background seems unnatural given the subject. But, the detail captured in the gathered treasure is awesome!
