This is fantastic Jorge, shots like these are hard to come by, it's as if he wanted you to take the picture for him while he poses away. The technical stuff is all there. :)

Hio Jorge,
Very very nice picture. Very cute one. POV is good. Colors are nice. I belive in " a good picture of a common specie is better than, a bad picture of rare species".

Well done.TFS.

Very cute shot Jorge,
Excellent exposure, color, DOF, sharpness, detail, and POV. The vertical framing works very well for this one IMO. Very good quality.

Very well done!

Superb sharpness and details, very good textures in the fur coat... all with fine natural colours!

Hola Jorge,
Una foto divertida, inusual y a la vez hermosa.
Me gusta la ardilla como asoma la cabeza a traves de ese raro agujero. Los detalles y colores son muy buenos. Lo unico un poquitin borroso arriba pero creo que se debe al ángulo. De todos modos la considero una de mis favoritas.
Un abrazo

hi jorge
j'aime beaucoup ce cliché pour toutes ses qualité et la jolie frimousse de l'ecureuil mais aussi cela me fait penser a une naissance lorsque l'on regarde la forme du trou dans l'arbre.

You had to be very close to get this limited DOF. At f7.1 the tree trunk is already falling out of the DOF. It's not a critique just a comment... :) Lovely shot and exceptional composition. Well done.

• [2006-06-09 19:42]

Great composition and sharpness! The colors look very natural and the DOF is controlled very well. I also like the fact that the picture was taken more or less from the squirrel's eye level and not from below. Excellent picture overall! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your welcome message.

Vaya agradable sorpresa! Es una foto memorable sin duda. No solo la composición de esa carita tan simpática saliendo del hueco con esa forma tan curiosa, también el contraste de texturas entre el pelaje y la corteza del árbol, pero con una notable similitud de tonos y colores... los aros concéntricos en el agujero son curiosísimos.
Espero que no te importe que te escriba en español.. en inglés casi no se me ocurre nada..

Hello Jorge
This one is really cute. Composition is great.
The match of the colours are even greater.
Wonderful.
I find your portfolio in general very well looked after.
If I may have a critique on this one the frame is quite black and heavy..but that is a matter of taste. Still the frame is well looked after too.
I'll come back...
Congrats

Hi Jorge, this is excellent! I love the composition and the squirrel poking his head out is very cute, even the hole in the tree is attractive. Very well done.

• flagman (2381)
• [2006-12-19 6:45]

Brilliant shot!
Although your EXIF data says 400mm, the look of the photo suggests you were very close to the squirrel, he's looking right into the lens and the perspective is not as compressed as I would expect at 400mm. It has a very nice, intimate portrait look.
