Gordon plopped down on his favorite branch and sighed. It was rough, sometimes, the daily grind. Flitting from tree to tree, gathering nuts, outrunning those filthy canine terrors of the neighborhood yards, avoiding those monstrous metal behemoths on the roads, playing up to the laughter and attention of the human children.
Yes, it was tough being a squirrel sometimes. So tough. |

| Very nicely composed and a good capture. Would be good to sharpen it up a bit more, and maybe try to shift the lighting to emphasize the face a bit more. (Not voting, just commenting.) |

| nice capture, too bad it is not really sharp |

| Could have benefitted from post-processing! (You had the subject!) |

| Good shot. A bit more focus on the squirrel would score higher. |

| Very cute, but not sharp enough |
|

| This photo is so funny! I think it would have been a little better if the features were a little sharper, but I just love the pose he is in. |

| Cute squirrel. Looks like a DPC'er after given 1000 comments. |
|
|
|
03/15/2009 12:48:41 AM |
| I love it! Great catch. I have never seen a squirrel do that. Maybe a tiny bit more sharpening would bring out the squirrel's details. |

Don't take this the wrong way but as I see DPC as a learning experience here is my frank critique:
This comes across as a snapshot. By that I mean that I feel that anybody standing where you were with a camera could have gone click and got this result. I think a photographer should aim to do more than that. I may be wrong and perhaps you do have more of a story to your shot but the fact is that it doesn't come across to the viewer.
As an example, if you were in Paris and saw the Eiffel Tower you could hold the camera and go click. You'd have a shot that millions of other tourists have and would be good as a record of your holiday. I think at DPC you need more than that. You need to consider the POV - make it something that enhances the tower (include a flowerbed or kissing couple in the foreground), make use of lighting (dusk for shadows), composition (maybe include the buildings beside it to get a sense of scale).
I hope this helps and please don't be offended, I'm only offering an opinion. |

| Ha! So cute. A bit fuzzy, did you use a long zoom? |

| So funny! I've never seen a squirrel do this, now I wish I could in real life...an entire tree full of lazing squirrels. How great would that be?! |
|
|
|
03/13/2009 08:39:01 PM |
| What a great capture. Needs a bit more contrast or a levels adjustment I think with a little Post processing this could ribbon. |
|
|
|
03/13/2009 06:39:41 PM |
| Oh goodness, he is pooped. Wow I have never seen a squirrel do this. |
|

Great catch with this really funny capture :)
Could use just some sharpening around its eyes and nose. (no vote)

| Wow great job catching this guy relaxing. |
|
|
|
03/13/2009 01:05:17 PM |
| LOL ... that's hilarious and your title fits perfectly! I think it could benefit from a slight boost in contrast and saturation .. |
|
|
|
03/13/2009 12:51:40 PM |
| Very sweet capture. I know just how he feels. The body position, the expression, the background bokeh are all great - if only the subject were in focus. |
|

| Ahhhh, a perfect capture. Precious! 8 |

| ha! thats great! might work a bit with the sharpening and contrast, but the cuteness of the little dude totally make up for it |

| LOL! Rare to see a squirrel resting, I must say. Looks a little washed out on my monitor; I'd deepen the tones a bit. |
|

| ha ha ha...I am so chuckling...looks like one of my popped out squirrels around here...especially after the dog has been chasing them wonderful focus, great bokeh engaging photo |

| Great capture. I'm totally with the squirrel on this one. |
|

03/11/2009 08:40:14 PM |
| Well caught. I would have toned down the background a tad but it still bought a smile to my face. |

sums up rather nicely how I feel right about now in voting this challenge
:)
great expression you captured |
|
|
|
03/11/2009 01:26:30 PM |
| I think they know they are being photographed. |
|
|
|
03/11/2009 01:08:51 PM |
| I know how that goes! Great catch, wish it was a little sharper. |

| The laugh gets a already good shot a +2.. |
|
|
|
03/11/2009 10:42:24 AM |
| Oh, this really made me chuckle! The pose/look of the exhausted squirrel collapsed on this tree branch is priceless! Normally they are all bushy tailed, bright eyed and twitchy bundles of energy so to see one that looks utterly exhausted is a rare find. This is a great shot but it could be even better if you boast the contrast and up the color saturation just a tad more. That way they colors and play between light and shadow tones are not as washed out. Other than that thank you for sharing this little gem that brings a smile to the face. |

good capture of the moment , but the background just does not help the shot.
Also some fill flash could do wonders to bring out more detail in the squirrel |
