Ah! You Caught Me!

No hummingbirds today, but Mr./Ms. Squirrel has been having a little bird food feast for his/herself today.
Editing consisted of lightening up the exposure a little in Ribbet.
Hey little guy!

My warped sense of humor can't stop laughing at the thought of taking a photo of a Squirrel feasting on Bird Food, and editing it in a product called Ribbet. If this site were called "amoeba.com" it would complete the trip down the evolutionary ladder!

Wow that's close! You can even see all the detail in his little whiskers:)

How's the grain here?

Well it doesn't look grainy - it looks like a screen??

Which is more acceptable (or less noticeable) than grain? I did dial the ISO down a lot for this one. I'm just trying to find a balance of sorts.

You know, I don't mind a bit of grain to my shots - so I think it's a matter of opinion what's more or less acceptable. I mean obviously, if you're shooting in the day and have good light, you want to go with a lower ISO. But you do what you can. And I don't think the screen takes away from this shot - it kind of adds a bit of texture. But it definitely depends on the shot - some of them you want tack sharp and crystal clear, and you're just not going to get that shooting through a screen. But again, you do what you can:)

What a cutie.

I love the photos people post of squirrels...we all seem to love them a great deal, don't we! Very sweet. and the faint screening is a nice texture.

Must have just focused on the squirrel - didn't notice the screen until I read the comments - obviously wasn't a problem for me. Do love your shot of the squirrel, though. Love the focus you got on his eyes.
