I thought of just posting the whole series of photos from when I was standing 
over him down to when I was flat on my belly dragging myself (slowly) across 
the dirt trail to get closer.  Maybe I'll do that and you can pick out the long 
shot which you prefer...

Well, just to be a curmudgeon... I'd have liked to have the forelegs and ground 
visible.  It is very good, though.

lovely lovely shot.  nice to see a shot where the critter is not
groomed and coated in glycerin as well.
 

That's a superb shot.  I can't see a single way to improve it.

   


incredible picture !!!   did you ask the critter  for an address ? . 
he/she 's got a future in photography ..  I can't believe it didn"t 
budge.

I was walking along the Mississippi river at twilight when this little guy 
hopped across the path and then he just STOPPED.

I popped the Tamron 90mm onto the K-7 and started snapping.. closer and 
closer... finally I'm right down on the ground with the lens about 8 inches 
away from his face.  The sun had set so I was down to:

ISO 800, f5.6, 1/4 second
