Red Squirrel

Hi all, new to the forums! From recommendation of Phil Mclean so should be sticking around :)

I took this in Kielder, Northumberland.
Nikon D80
Sigma 170-500mm

Hi Will, and welcome to the forum. You have captured the detail here very well, but with that post creating a very strong upright within the picture I think that a potrait crop would have suited th subject better.

David

Thanks David! Yeah I know what you mean, but this is a smaller version there is actually more height to it which makes it look better. I just didn't have a version under 800px online so used this off the Guardian's website and looks like they cropped it smaller! :O

But yeah thanks ! :D

great image agree about the portrait crop and maybe a tad sharper would look good to,oh and welcome to the forum

Hi Will


welcome to the forum, nice first post look forward to seeing more

Hi Will,

Welcome to the forum. Lovely image of a red squirrel. I like the pose and the tufty ears caught superbly.

Hi Will

Welcome! Nice first post, personally I'd crop just into the post, would work portrait as David suggests, but I think the landscape works ok too. Nice catchlight and the whites are nice

cheers
