Lovable Raccoon

This guy couldn't have been more helpful. He was runnign around on the ground eating whatever the people at the picnic table next to me would feed him. I was trying to take some shots but the sand in the background kept getting blown out. After a while he climbed up in the tree and just plopped down looking exhausted. I am happy to say that this is one of my first attempts at using flash and I am thrilled w/ the results. Anyone have a good caption for this guy? I think he could use a good one.

Nikon D100 (broke it later in the day)
70-200 AF-S VR f2.8
1.4x TC
SB-80dx @ -1.7 compensation

Thanks for any and all comments.

Drew

Very cute and lovable. The diagonal lines, pose and "expression" make this shot.
