There's no time to "frame" this kind of shot in the camera. It's a great shot, so work with it. IMHO, a tighter crop will get the bleached fence frame down to less glaring proportions and better emphasize the animal as if a longer telephoto lens were used. Then darken to taste. -tv

Thank you CJ, will see what I can do. :)

Very cute Sue Anne! You could play around with contrast, darkening it and maybe a little saturation if you like to bring out the color and texture of the blocks and wood, but nice as is too! CJ

Thank you Tom,
I waited about 15-20 minutes, I knew he was in there wanting to come out. It was just the timing of waiting and taking his picture when he peeked out. :)

Thanks, this is a fun shot! Good example of how the subject can be a very small part of the picture.
How long did you have to wait for this shot Sue Anne?

Thank you Brent, Doug and Rich,

I didn't plan on waiting too long, lucky he kept peeking out.

Love it Sueanne. The slanted wall, mysteriousness of the groundhog, the framing that doesn't look planned out... Just love it. -COAmature

Very nice Sue Anne. You know at first glance I was thinking it was too bad the lighting seemed a bit harsh, but then this give an impression he doesn't want to be seen stepping out into the spotlight. Fun image and great work.
