Cheeky Chipmunk

Kensington Metro Park, Michigan

This chipmunk was so intent on filling its cheeks with sunflower seeds,
I was able to sneak up and get its photo from only a few inches away.

Taken hand-held with available light.
The f/5.6 aperture resulted in a very narrow depth of field.
Wanted to keep the shutter speed up, figuring sharpness was more important.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Hi Sayer,
This is a terrific capture! He looks like he's picking his teeth with a toothpick. \/
