Grey Squirrel

Gallery: Regional: UKNPPosted September 17, 2011127 views8 comments

Thanks for the comments on the last image. An autumny shot today, this was taken yesterday whilst out looking for Foxes on a golf course. The Squirrel was feeding underneath a Horse Chestnut tree and so I lay on the ground to get the diffused effect through the grass at the bottom, but now am not sure if it is too much.

I'm not a grey lover, but, I do like the shot Oscar. The comp is very good as it isolates the subject very well

I would be tempted to desaturate the greens a touch Oscar, they are powerful. Very nice image though!

Very nice shot. As Neil said, I'd desaturate the green a bit, but I like the mush. It draws your eye towards the squirrel. Nice colours in the background to the right.

A nice mixture of impressionism and realism. Well done.

Lovely image Oscar. I like the pose, composition and colours, though I agree about desaturating the green a little bit.

Some lovely colours running through this one, Oscar. The Squirrel is razor sharp which is a good contrast to the mush. Nice one.

Very autumnal Oscar, I like the mush but agree that toning the green down would improve things. I don't mind Greys as long as they stay down there
