More pics with 5700

Sorry about that. The iso 200 pic with the tele were fuzzy due to camera shake since it was handheld.
 
Not bad. Squirell 5 is my favorite. Good composition and excellent DOF control. What f-stop were you using? Looks like 2.8 or so.

It could use some sharpening though. Did you re-touch the image at all? An unsharp mask applied just to the squirrel would help that as would using even a small tripod next time. Also, the branch in front of the squirrel, even though it is beautifully faded, is distracting from the overall composition. Ah well, I guess with nature photography you gave to make exceptions to make the shot.

Anyway, great job overall... I look forward to seeing more.

Thanks for the comments.
 
You should raise the ISO to 400. Even a noisy picture is better than a blurry one. You can always downsample and use software to clean up the grainy images. But a blurry shot can never be "saved."
