This little one gave us quite a show. Here is a b/w version. Please

make it better. Thank you for your time!!

That is a once in a lifetime photograph, very cute.

nice pix. but it looks like grainy/medium noise, or is it too high sharpness??

He thinks he's people! It looks like you focused about a foot too far and sharpened in PS witch boosted the contrast. It could probably use some work with the levels. A flash wouldv'e helped with the background being lighter than the subject but maybe wasn't feasible at shooting time. Nice one.

Thank you very much for the feedback. Yeah, I didn't have much time to shoot this picture and he was sitting under a bench where there was shade and very bright sunshine behind it. I have tried and tried to compansate for it. The grainyness that you see it from me lightening the squirell.

Any help on how to shoot in these conditions or to fix after would be much appreciated.
