Easier for you, but not for us.

You already did resize the image, you just don't need to do anything to the resolution.

What am I trying to showcase here?
The squirrel, The bark of the tree or the brightly lit background?

I think the bark has a lot of detail in its self, but seeing as the squirrel 'grabbed hold of his nuts' when i seen him, ran up a tree hung upside down to continue indulging in natures finest is just brilliant!

Squirrel 1-0 Bark

So maybe its my lack of experience, i should of composed the picture more carefully, although my lens isnt the best for wildlife and i couldnt get too close or he would of finished his meal elsewhere.

What lens would people recommend me buying next? I know not to waste my time with clip on ones so i know they will cost a bit, and would people say my current Nikkor 18-55mm is more suited for a portrait/ family shoot with controlled lighting and a back drop??

Again thanks for all the replies so far, im really enjoying it here
