Raccoon

This baby raccoon was photographed in the evening at Sarasota, Florida at Lido Beach. There were dozens of raccoons, very habituated to humans. It was taken handheld with a Canon 20D and a Canon IS 100-400mm lens. AV mode, 1/160 sec, f8, -2 exposure compensation, Canon 580EX flash. I was down on my belly in the pine needles for this one (one came up and put his nose right to the lens). He's eating, but I like it because it looks like he's praying!
