Goofy Squirrel

Shot this squirrel that has a jacked up ear today. I have a few others because this guy was a comedian.
D90, 200-400 @ 390mm ISO1600.

The color of the squirrel is interesting, did you alter it?
I have taken some snaps of squirrels as well...I have noticed how large their hind feet are as well.

I was trying to make the log look right since I was too far away from the squirrel to tell what it really looked like. I could have screwed the white balance up.

I am by no means knocking your photo. You are in a different part of the country, and it is highly possible the squirrels are a different color.

sky looks way too over saturated for my taste, ruins the photo for me.

I see what you're saying, but those are trees. It doesn't look that great, I have to agree.

It seems to me the focus of this photo is the squirrel. The sky backround is neutral and does not distract from the image, therefore I believe it works well.
No.....

Thanks. After looking at it again I would try to make it blend more next time. I've got a couple more shots of the squirrel. I'll throw those up in a while too.

There are many different squirrels, we have four of them here on our property alone. Blacks, Greys, Reds & Chipmunks, yes Chipmunks are squirrels. Here is a Red on our balcony.

That's just me being a jackass. I'm 1 week into having this camera so I'm going out and pushing the ISO just to see what it can do. I know I could have dropped the ISO significantly but I'm like a kid in a candy store right now. I'm shooting that high simply because I can

It's part of my learning curve. Which is why I'm taking pictures of squirrels. lol.
