It appear to be focused,maybe its too central,try portrait mode,rules of 1/3 or how to break it,although i don't mind the first one as its concentrating in the squirrel,TFS and keep posting

cheers

Thanks cupic for the tip

Actually the camera was on auto mode and thinking the squirrel might get away, i clicked! next time will keep in mind of the portrait mode

Not much help to you here....everyone knows that I am Squirrel biased, and have never seen a bad Squirrel shot...as long as they are alive!

With Squirrels, you often get what you can, they aren't still for long,unless they are paid models like I use. If you like Squirrels, you can get your fill of them here Flickr: Festus 2009's Photostream

Some very fine shots in the mix.....it takes a little practice and learning to anticipate their movements, but it is great fun, and if you learn to shoot Squirrels it will enhance your other shooting abilities. Hasn't helped mine a lot, but I can shoot Squirrels!

Yeah Razor, it is an addiction I guess......anyhow, it is fun to shoot the little devils! My feed bill gets a little high around here, but better to feed them than having them destroy my house and phone lines......and they will if you cross them!

Best Regards!

I think the comment might have been intended to suggest portrait orientation, not portrait mode as in the camera's exposure mode, if that's what you mean. I think the picture might indeed be better cropped so the orientation becomes vertical.
