Very cute. I think I was also in danger of an attack when I was there in 2018.

Excellent shot and great choice of cropping. Many would have eliminated much of the surrounding area but you accent the tiny size of the 'dangerous' animal with your choice of cropping:o) Good job!

Thanks Papa Joe. When I initially started shooting I thought for some odd reason it was wrong to crop or post process. Then I got into a mode of "I can improve all shots by cropping". I sat on this shot for a long time, and had cropped it several different ways. This version ended up without a crop and I was hesitant because the subject fills so little of the shot. With the cropped versions I had the Chipmunk placed on all the different ratios, rules, and guide lines. In the end with this one it was the initial gut feeling when I took the shot.
I love this hobby, I'm always learning how much I don't know.
