 There she is... staring at me from the bird feeder. I had to take a photo! I love her little "hands"! So cute!

Squirrels are so fun to watch and photograph. They seem so smart sometimes.

I cropped and deepened the color with a slight overlay. Then ran a tone mapping to help bring out the face and hands, USM and burned some distracting light area from the background.

GREAT JOB in taking that through a window! I think it adds tremendously to the photo as it tends to concentrate the focus onto the squirrel's face and hands and eyes more, blurring out the rest of the body to some degree. Really nicely captured and done!

Outstanding shot.. for f/2.8 you really got the key parts in focus. Excellent example of filling the frame!

Perfect DOF! I get tons of these little guys at my bird feeders, too. It can be exasperating, but they're so cute I can't bring myself to do anything more than shoo them away once in awhile ;-)

Nice sharp detail! Great dof, it really makes the eye focus on the face and hands!

Well i can't see any signs of a mucky window! How incredibly cool to be able to watch squirrels from your window - I am sooooo envious! This is a super capture - the detail in the fur, especially on the oh so sweet little hands, is incredible. I love the way she is staring at you in such a challenging way!

Fantastic shot. Oh man, those eyes are absolutely awesome. And the hands ... superb shot.
BTW, cleaning is for those who have less fun hobbies, just my personal mantra!! I can quilt, do stained glass, edit videos, take photos, paint, anything beats cleaning.
