I really like the placement of the squirrel. 7

Great bokeh. The branch leads my eyes out of the image, but in this case that's where you've placed the subject, so this compositional device works in your favor.

cute capture, it almost looks like he's wearing the leaves on his head lol.

why this strange cropping
05/01/2005 06:20:48 PM
This is beautiful, not minimalism but then DPC didn't define this competiton as that artistic definition so you get a good vote on this one 8

I like the way the squirrel sort of surprises me with its presence! He's just so coy, as squirrels will be. Neatly conceived!

the foreground is amazing imo, the squirrel peeking its head into the shot is very effective and well captured. I find the background especially the whites very distracting. If the sky was more blue and more blurred I think that could have worked really well.

Look at that cheeky little fellow up in the corner! The depth of field is very effective in this picture and the color is right on, very nicely done.

Fantastic. Great focus and detail and outside the box composition.

Nice lighing, detail, and dof.
Funny how these shots would be reemed in other challenges for cutting off the subject. :)

That guy was hiding in there. I found the sq. Then it was nice. Hurts my eyes with the blur.

This is great , although the squirell is a little soft on focus, still very nice!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

not minimalism
04/29/2005 12:41:03 AM
very clear and crisp!...SQUIRREL!

The hanging branch over powers the squirrel which I believe to be your main subject. The branch is a bit large for minimalism, but still a very good shot. 6

Nice photo, but my eye was first drawn to the leaves...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good coloring. He stands out amongst the green. Too bad we can't see more of him.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/28/2005 04:39:46 PM
Wow this is so sharp and clean. Excellent 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.

First thing you see is the branch, but then suddenly, as though he just popped out of nowhere, you spot the squirel. Nicely done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/28/2005 01:05:25 PM
Almost missed him, I wonder if that is good or bad for composition. I guess more good than bad in this instance.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Didn't catch the squirrel right away, but then he just popped out. Great cropping.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/27/2005 11:19:38 PM
Im not sure cutting the poor squirrels head off counts as minimalism :)
04/27/2005 05:55:29 PM
Questionable whether this meets the challenge. The tree limb draws me away from the little critter. The tree limb is in focus better than the subject.

Took me a second to see that lil' guy! Made me laugh. Nice shot.

A difficult image to comment on really, it has simplicity and is minimal, but the elegance I associate with minimalism is lacking
