breakfast of champions

anybody wanna peanut?

technically, i think, this qualifies as a high contrast as the histogram is U shaped, but i'm not really sure my eye would agree with that...

come explore high contrast b&w in the new bw challenge!

Ah my nemesis! How do you get them to stay still? ;)

@humphreyhippo food won over fear ;p

[Graeme Stevens]

The histogram never lies...it's a great shot but I've never found squirrels to be particularly trustworthy. I fear for my nuts.

[kali]

so the histogram should be a u? i was way off with my first effort then !

[☠northy]

@kali66 yup... and more of a square u than a round u if you know what I mean...

[kali]

well not sure if i can get that sooc! but will keep it in mind

[Mariana Visser]

perfect, nice and sharp. Great convertion to monochrome

[Maggiemae]

Soft photo of this sweet wee mite! I like it in B&W! fav

[HTGT]

When I saw this I just knew it had to be included in the b&w challenge!! So gorgeous!

[KWind]

Brilliant focus!

[Helen Jane]

So this one would be a red squirrel then? Nice. I need to look up that stuff about high contrast.

[Francoise]

so soft for "high contrast" (which i think it is)

[Tracy]

Adorable :)

[Marnie]

I reckon it is high contrast, but not smack-you-in-the-face with this soft subject.

[Susiangelgirl]

Wonderful shot FAV

[Taffy]

It's a strong composition, but I agree softer in contrast than what I'd predict from your histogram.

[Issi Bannerman]

What a lovely capture and I do like your caption too.

[diane day]

adorable, looks like a size 10 foot though

[Wendy]

So sweet! Love the catch light of his eye.
