A squirrel in a Crepe Mertyl. I love the bark on those trees. What do people think? Be honest, brutal. :) Was shot with Digital Rebel, 75-300mm at near full-zoom, at largest aperature.

It's a good shot. Needs a little post processing, especially some contrast.

Here it is with adjusted contrast, levels, saturation and sharpened using this technique. Cropped, too.

Cool change. I only mustered to do the following. White balance change, contrast to 40, a little on saturation.

That looks pretty good. To my weak eye, it could use more contrast, more brightening and more saturation.

Its a bit fuzzy, which makes it hard to tell if you were focusing on the critter or being distracted by that bark which you clearly love.

But who am I to critiscize, I've done the EXACT same thing
