Greetings to all! My first post to Dgrin, only found this forum a couple weeks ago and am really impressed with the images and the layouts etc, etc. Have been active on the Pop Photo forums for a while and have learned a lot and hope to be able to join in the fun here too. Have a smugmug site about 9 months now and love it.

This squirrel was shot on Wed at the Capital Park, downtown Sacramento, A fun day using only the Sigma 70-300. I loved the reflection on his eye and the diffused lighting thru the trees behind him. Coments and critques welcome, natch.

Welcome aboard, and I love this shot and the angle from which you took this at, just look at those big eyes looking right into the camera. Cute little guy.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I look forward to being a part of the group here. I have learned more from members tips and suggestions than from a lot of books I've read, and hope to pass on C&C's too. :D

This guy was about 10/12 ft. slightly above me. I was shooting at 300mm so only cropped it a little. Thanks.
