Taken in the local park

I definitely like the first shot better.

It's sharper and there's a lot of contrast between the squirrel and background- it really stands out.
The squirrel is a little blurry in the second one (you could apply some USM if you have photoshop) and the colours look a little flat.
But hey, that's only my opinion.

Thanks for the comments Jazcan, both pics have had a touch of USM cos I couldn't get any closer and had to use a bit of digital zoom (I know, I know). Unfortunatly the second was taken in deep shadow so could do with a bit of a touchup also.

BTW I use Corel PhotoPaint as opposed to PhotoShop, I tried to get my head around PhotoShop but it is quite difficult to re-learn when you are alredy competant on a differnt package.

I agree with Tracy, the first shot has more character. Incidentally, what are you feeding those fellas, they look like they are a just a shade this side of rotund..

Not Guilty, I think the park wardens have this as a feeding area cos when I first saw thaem there was about 5 or 6 about, but these 2 didn't mind me sneaking up on them.
