I gave it some Doritos and it started walking towards me, and I captured it at the exact moment. The blurred background adds to the effect and focuses directly on the squirrel. The texture of the squirrel also shows very well in this photo. All in all, I really love this capture!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7080078-111191894217463952?l=maanitrules.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maanit Shahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14675402883630402412noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080078.post-1111722999508644062005-03-24T22:56:00.000-05:002007-05-28T01:09:58.335-05:00<a href='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/35/4231/640/Pink Rose with Water Droplets.jpg'><img border='0' style='border:1px solid #000000; margin:2px' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/35/4231/320/Pink Rose with Water Droplets.jpg'></a><br />This is another 1 of my favorite pictures. The perspective is very different than any other flower picture. The way the flower is cut from 1 side adds a lot to the picture. The droplets also add to the serenity of the scene.
