sorry, the selective desaturation doesn't really work with this shot, IMHO. I also think it would have been better if the background subjects were still, with the motion blur on the front subject. The way it is, it just looks like camera shake.

This is absolutely great. I hope people take the time to understand this message. I was going to do something with the same message, but couldn't get subjects for it.

Composition is done very well.

Hi Judy -

The composition and lighting on your subject is good. Interesting take on the challenge.

Possible Improvements:
There seems to be a bit of noise, as the subject is not in sharp focus. It looks like your focus may have actually been on the window. I think it may have looked better with a shallower DOF with the window blurred more. The brightness of the window is just a little distracting.

Good luck with your future entries.

Nice sharp focus. I like the shadow too. I would have given it a 7, at least.

I noticed in your comments, you liked this better, but didnt post because you thought people would think it was too PSed. First, I don't think it looks too PSed at all. Secondly, screw the voters, do what you like. :-)

Nuts!

Hello Neil!

This is a cute capture. You did a good job getting the squirrel and feeder in focus. The thing that I see where you could have improved are on the "halo" around the squirrel as some mentioned below. Because of this, it make it quite obvious that the DOF blur was done in post. Also, I think if you would not have blurred the background so much, it would have looked more natural, thus, improving the quality of the photo.

Good luck on your future entries.

Regards,
Chris

I think a shallower DOF may have worked better. Interesting though

motion blur on the hand kind of detracts.
