This youngster lived under the toolshed at my brother-in-law's, so it was somewhat habituated. Canon 1D, ISO 200, 300 f/4. All comments and suggestions for improvement greatly appreciated.

I can't see how you could improve this a great deal. You got a great expression (a yawn?).

Excellent shot Bob. I like how he is framed by the grasses and the expression is very sweet. needs a cuteness alert.

Aw, this is really cute! Toning down the bright green grass in the FG is about all I'd suggest for this one. Very nice!

Hey Bob,

Cool shot of a rarely photographed creature .. well, rarely considering how common they are. Being nocturnal, we don't see them as often as we think we might.

the shot looks a tad soft to me ... that's the 2nd one this morning though, so I'm not sure if it's the digital gremlins at work again.

Cheers

Carl

This is super cute, Bob. I like all the earth tones in this one.
