Some recent outdoor shots

[Crotalus]

I am still very new, but I am reading and learning and trying. These are photos from our recent trip to Maine. Just looking for general comments, tips and critiques on both composition and quality.

I am currently using a Canon Rebel XSi with the 18-55 kit lens and an EFS 55-250 lens. I am currently saving for a much better telephoto lens. A pro let me use his Sigma 70-200 f2.8 and i really liked.

I don't have the album shared in Photobucket so hopefully the files are still visible, if not let me know and I will change the album settings.

Thanks

The next three were all taken from a moving canoe.

Yeah, I know the squirrel is out of focus, he jumped just as I hit the shutter
