Tail Light

Spotted this fox squirrel with the sun shining through its tail. Only was able to get this quick shot before it moved on. No chance to move around for a cleaner shot.

Or, if I was making a statement I could say the bright light on the squirrels' tail reminds one that even in the dark of winter brightness can be found!

Canon 1/400 @ F 5.6 ISO 200
EF 70-300 IS USM @ 300mm
HH IS on spot meter.

Hey John,

Well, a bit chaotic in the background (as you know), but the light is kissing that tail very nicely. Nice visual!

Cheers...

Brad

This is my kind of picture - using light and dark creatively to set a whole scene. :toast:
