I say.. with that kind of determination, let Randall have his found fruity bounty.

And by the looks of things, this bounty should keep Randall well-fed for the rest of this winter.


Comical capture, and a nice one at that.

Good good colour and clarity/focus. Nicely composed as well.


Caveats?

Not sure if it is my non-caffeinated eyes at the moment.. any post work done?

Seems that, perhaps, some work was done in and around Randall and his immediate vicinity? Lightening things up a tad, maybe?

If so, open your image up full-size.. ... wait, don't know which image editing software you have at your disposal. Hopefully, what is to follow can be extrapolated on.

In Photoshop, CS and higher ... the Highlight/Shadows adjustment would fit the creative bill quite well. Followed by, topped off with ... that of a Curves adjustment.

Or..

Back to the original thought, open your image up full-size ... grab a smaller 'brush' and erase a tad closer to Randall. Additionally, if a selection was made is to refine that selection by 'feathering' it. Play around with the pixel size on this note.

End results, employing the aforementioned stuff ... with some noise reduction thrown in.

But, I digress..

(/\ Which is a polite way of stating I might have overstepped my commentary boundaries here.)


Cute shot, nice shot. Truly.

Thanks for this morning's smile.

And ... for sharing the Randall's trials and tribulations with us. :o)

Mine...all mine!! <--That's what Randall is thinking...hehe...

Cute and funny shot, nicely composed too :o)

Your are the first, the champion in fluffy photos Wendell! I love so much squirrels and this photo, to me, is THE PHOTO, telling story by itself! So cute, fun and lovely Randal! Thank you for bringing a huge smile on my face also, Wendell! And so pleasant to read your narrative, as always!

What a cute shot and I'm very glad you clarified the issue of exactly who is in these squirrel follies you get.

Reminds me of when we "bite off more then we can chew," Wendell. At first I thought it was a miniature squirrel with an acorn. A truly enjoyable and well done photo.

Our little friend from Ice Age :-).. fantastic photo! Mich

Fantastic!

Wendell, You were in the right place at the right time to get this beauty. I didn't read everything that Les said, but there might be some good technical information in there. My first thought was the same as TicK's. I thought the apple was an acorn. Personally I probably would have cropped a little more snow out of the shot to make the squirrel a little more prominent; but whatever you do, don't listen to a thing I'm saying. I broke your record. "My Shadow" has a C-Index of 9 right now which is a personal record; so obviously I'm clueless.

P.S. He's so cute and adorable.

Well what can i say great looking photo with nice composition and colour.The colours in that squirrels coat are stunning ,he is a very health looking fellow.He seems to be struggling to carry is nuts though,poor little fellow lol.

A wonderful shot, Wendell! (LOL) This is, without doubt, the cutest squirrel photo I've seen in a long time, if ever. I like the color, contrast, and tack-sharp focus. I can pick out individual whiskers! Well done!

Very cute photo.

My hero, i give him a 20. Great capture. Best wishes, Dwight.

I'm sure he won't be hungry for a while after getting that all down. Such a cutie.

Whoa, now that's a lot to have to carry around in the snow Wendell. Perfectly timed of this little fellow. I'm sure he wasn't too happy with you around, lol.

I had a giggle over this one. That apple is bigger than him. The image reminds me of Gus the mouse in Disney's Cinderella. He tries to carry too many nuts back to his place and ends up dropping them all, much to the notice of Lucifer, the cat. lol
Oh, well, your shot made me stop and think awhile. I'm so glad you persevered in capturing this little imp up to his tricks.

Wendell - I join Cindy in laughter with this photo and narrative. Thad

Awesome!!

He has taken on more than he can chew..This is a terrific scene , great image !!

Big catch and tight grip.
Heads up and tails up
Ears are up and so as the Mustache.
Finally you are also up,
with this cute lovely fantasy............Bijan

This is a GREAT capture! Very comical! =)I would have loved to have seen him try to run with this!
