Hide and Seek Photo

Photographer’s Note

Again from Queens Park the Squarriels there are very tame you can get up right close and take pictures. In some ways wish could have got closer but as it was hiding food didn't want to disturb it.

Only think with this photo he moved and made the picture slighly blured had go and cleaning it post production tell me what you think.

This one is still too blurred Russ - for a still image with a single subject like this you really need a clear point of focus and at least one really well defined area of sharpness. There are a couple of good things happening in this composition though in that you use two compositional devices - a strongish diagonal that splits the frame in two and you have positioned the busy end of the squirrel roughly on the upper left third.

These are still not enough to compensate for the overall fuzziness of the image or the perspective on the squirrel's activities. I know stalking and not disturbing one of the little critters can be difficult but a shot from further left which shows a bit more of it's activity - and perhaps from a lower position so that we are more with it- would have been better.

Keep shooting pics!
