Chipmunks and squirrels and deer, oh my!

MikeK

Here are a few of the critters I ran into while hiking over the last week or so. There were many more, but these ones were kindly enough to pose for me

They were all shot handheld with a Canon 400mm 5.6 in a lot less light than I would have liked for this lens. I'm still undecided if #2 is a bit too 'glam', but I do kind of like the look for this one.

Fire away....

Hi Mike, I really like #1. Great pose, cute critter (no matter what Harry thinks about them).

Very nice! I love #3

Very nice. I like 1 and 3

Gotta go with the third one. Nice.

I'm going with 1,3,& 4. #2 is just too busy for my taste, and the leaves in the fore ground are very distracting.

Awww, how cute! I love 1 & 3! 2 is a nice shot despite all the stuff and the last one is nice, I love that you can see the spots growing out.

Thanks for the feedback, glad you like them. The rodents were definitely showing off last week. On #1, he was originally just barely peeking out, just the top of his head was visible. Once I started shooting, he jumped up into that pose. I couldn't believe it!

1 and 3 stand out to me. Nice images. The deer sure is cute though.

Seesh it looks like rodent fest. :uhoh

Nice captures , hopefully you didn't catch any infectious diseases while shooting the little buggers. :sick
