While waiting for a flock of wild turkeys to return to my feeder I was entertained by the antics of 8 gray squirrels. I really liked this shot of the unusual position and the expression on his face.
EOS 1Ds, 300 mm f/2.8 IS, at ISO 200, 1/200 sec, f/7.1 (manual exposure to keep the snow at +2Ev), ff with BB at -1.7Ev. It appeared that the flash was not centered on the subject so in PS I did some burning and dodging to even the light out a little. Also levels and USM.
Comments welcome
Merry Christmas!
P.S. The turkeys never did show up :cry:

Great shot of a little acrobat! It looks like you did a fine job with the burning and dodging since it looks very natural and even.
