Day 18 of Whatevers
One of the incorrigible squirrelly thieves I see every day, sitting on my deck trying to decide if he needs to bother running away or not ;-) I am not scary enough, apparently, as he went on his merry way to the feeders despite me standing there. Like he needs the calories! Oh, well; the dang rodents are cute most of the time and bird seed is cheap.
PP - converted from RAW, levels, white balance, dodged squirrel, outline vignette (not sure what the correlating PS tool is but I basically outlined the squirrel and PhotoImpact dimmed and blurred everything outside of the outline), slight gradient filter to black on top, decreased saturation, increased contrast, added border, resized, sharpened with noise reduction. |

| I see you captured one of the culprits. Nice capture! It would make a great "Wanted" poster. |

| He is so precious. Squirrels dig in my window boxes that line the railings of my deck. Can't get too mad at them cause they are so darn cute. This is really well done, Mary. Great focus and detail. I like it a lot. I'm smiling just looking at it. |

| Gorgeous photo, even if he is a pest. Do they hibernate? Looks like he has enough fat to last him a long time. |
