A couple more shots from the British Wildlife Centre. My first up close sighting of either a red squirrel or the albino grey squirrel.

    I like the variety form the usual Gray Squirrel. Nice captures, but you need to work on composition. Centered isn't too bad in the first but some crop and rule of thirds for the second would be nice.

    Hi Don

    Thanks for your comments. Rules ar made to be broken and I think particularly with wildlife you need just to give the subject a bit of space to move into, which i have done here - OK there could be a little more space to the left but I think sticking to the rule would give too much.

    Regards

    ah, but in #2 IMHO, I feel it is too centered and too much extra arround him.

    I break the rules all the time. See my stuff!

    :D

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Nice shots of the squirrels. Both are good, liked #1 the best

    Now for Harry .... It is good for a person to have a passion in thier lives. I heard that Harry was having a shotgun stock mount made for his cameras. That way he could really say that he was "just shooting some squirrels!"
