A few minutes ago, this little fellow was jumping around our balcony and

I grabbed my camera and got two pics before it ran away..I shot this

one through balcony door glass and there was not much time to

compose, but I had enough time to twist the camera

a for a vertical shot. I cropped it a little bit. I had my macro lens

attached to the camera, and no time to adjust aperture, it was set to

f5.6 and I got a shutter speed 1/45 sec with that setting. The Sun was

setting already, you can see some light on it's tail.

I think you did an amazing job with a spontaneous shot and with enough presence of mind to use the camera in portrait orientation too. Its got excellent sharpness and detail, but what I like most is the pose and the unusual backdrop setting of multi coloured stripes.

Sincere Compliments!
