Not to Brag, but..

It takes Daniel Boone type skills to approach this close to a wild animal. Looking at the skill and patience required to capture a scene as natural and pristine as this, I hope, will give you a window into my nature as a photographer.

Take a moment, as I did, to reflect on this image.

What's the "Canon" reflection from? It makes it look like it was taken through a window.

Nice picture. Did you take the picture through a window? Just notice the reflection of the canon logo backward and was wondering how that happens?

Congrats on a fine sneaking job on the ever nervous gray squirrel. You probably would have never got this shot if you only had single pane.

[MN Shutterbug]

You can come over and clean our windows anytime. Evidentally, it's another of your finely tuned skills.

The double pane is clincher here. Anyone can shoot through single pane, but double.....!?

Spot on exposure, nice subject placement, sharp details, etc. Time in the field will invariably yield the results, but you capitalized on it here no doubt.

Great pic. He looks like he is packing on the pounds for winter.

[Hwood]

Very impressive, young grasshopper.

Fantastic! great comedy and a nice shot to boot. Don't forget to protect the nuts, it is fall after all. Good thing its not so cold you needed to warm up the bowstring to get the pilot light going for the furnace.

Where do you get this filter plug-in?

I had to read this thread to figure this part out. I passed it by yesterday as some sort of embedded reverse Canon watermark.

Looks kinda cute, but fully knowing if that little thing was to drive or come at you, the instant terror would cause any person to scream like a banshee. NO, they are cute yard dwelling animals. If I recall Mike is a squirrel guy?

[Cyberfish]

you know what they say, even a blind nut finds a squ.... oh wait I got that wrong lol! But anyhow, you are one brave sportsman getting that close to a great minnesota grey, with only two thin sheets of glass to protect you!
