Photographer’s Note

After a long day work everyday at school... from too much homework... I enjoy my life with my photography on campus after 5PM. Wandering around, and saw this cute guy. He was so wondering what I will do to him with my long lens. I love it. It makes my day. Hope you also like it.

Hello Sothy,
This little fellow is well captured!
Good portrait quality, pin sharp around the face and great eye contact...
Nice natural colours, tight framing works well here!

Very fun image! His eyes are quite curious. ( I think he wants to make sure you do not get his food.)

deblink (2548) 2007-03-02 17:58

How cute Sothy. He is wondering what you are up too. Well captured and the quality of the photo is great.
Cheers,
Debbie

Hi Sothy,
You are a rather eclectic photographer showing talent in every subject you post. This one is wonderful and technically perfect. "He" is so expressive, almost human.
Congratulations!
Regards, José.

Superb shot. Obviously not overly-phased by human presence - but very a commercial shot for the right magazine / publication. Well seen and well taken. Regards, Paul.

I love it too..................how charming! The squirrel's expression is interesting, but the crop is a little too tight.

Hi Sothy,

he's almost like 'saint squirrel' with the halo behind his head. It's a great post my friend, good sharpness shows us great detail, the dof is excellent and it certainly made my day. Well done.

Regards

Stephen

sothy,
how were you able to get this foto soooooooo close and the squirrel didn't run away.... long humungous lens, huh? i have ambivalent feelings about squirrels, they are pretty and they are a nuisance at the same time..they make my front yard so dirty with all their left-overs from eating pine tree fruits!
a candid shot- so perfect, so clear!

Hello Sothy
Very nice expressive portrait, but a thinner frame will give a bigger picture.
Cheers.

quelle précision
écureuil parfait

je trouve seulement l'encadrement un peu lourd en noir j'aurais mis un beige

Hi Sothy. This is what one calls a pregnant pause, a moment when in the stillness things are being considered. and this little fellow is doing a lot of figuring out. I love the way his little hands are frozen mid way to his mouth.Beautiful eyes and details overall. Well done. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Sothy,

Superb portrait of this pretty small squirrel. Knowing the promptness of this animal, it is a performance this image. I like much his expressive head and his pretty eyes. Qualities of the image are superb in particular clearness, beautiful work.

WIth all my friendships and a good WE,

JEan-Charles
