Nice set and cute animal. My pick would be photo #3: good sharpness and great textures and colours. The subject is too centred in my opinion, though.

Nearly lost my oatmeal when that red devil squirrel fill my screen! :lol: Not because of the saturation, but the scale! If you think it is too saturated, I'm sure a light desaturation would still look great.

Nice to see that 1.4 tele shot looking sharp, I'm evaluating a 3 some with that puppy too..

BTW - My local shop suggested I would not need the IS (of course they did, they had one non-IS in stock), but I am really glad I got the IS version! I like to do low & available light shooting when not in the full blaze of the sun. And I suppose it is correct to say that I can also explore a wider range of apertures with my humming lens.

Cute friends you have there, a some nice compositions.

oops sorry - uploaded/linked to the wrong size ;)
and that is impressive catching a hummer with that lens! And yes the 1.4 is hardly a knock on sharpness at all -- and that red is definatly a softer shot (darped darker squirrel pen! ;)
 
No,.. no sorry - I like big shots, but I do get your format and it is easy to make little errors. -S
 
They so cute.
