Decided to post another image from Yosemite of the ever present marmot. This one is a bit closer up and more visible, as he was sunning himself on a large boulder rather than hiding under them as in my last post

The background here are the many Lodgepole pines behind the boulders. This was taken around 8000 ft at one of the pullouts along Tioga Pass Rd.

Canon Eos10D + 400mm f/5.6L @ f/10.0. 1/200th sec, EV -1 2/3, Fill -1 2/3.

Very nice shot Chris, my only nit is the 'red eye' which can be fixed in PS. Love the up close impact of the image.
