Mmm....tasty!, a photo from Durham, England

Photographer's Note

We had another trip to Tweddle Childrens Farm on the outskirts of town (see Theme for info), at the weekend. I took this MACRO photo of a friendly chipmunk having his dinner through a hole in the chicken wire cage. He seemed oblivious to me being there, he was more interested in what he was eating I think.

HEHE I like photos like this!!
Makes me smile!

Chipmonks are cute, but i come from where they run all over the place and chew holes in roofs!!

You can still see where the chicken wire is but it doesn't ditract from the picture!

Still cute tho!

Great close up Mark, excellent clear image, You've caught the little creature well.

This photo brings back memories as we used to have a couple of chipmunks. They're like hamsters with energy!

Bonjour Mark,
c'est très simple comme photo mais j'aime beaucoup.
Très habile de ces doigts :).
Une photo qui montre bien comment se nourrit cet animal.
Excellente mise au point, couleurs et éclairages.
Compliments.
Daniel.

good close up shot mark! i think though that if you had been able to do this without a flash it would look better as the chipmunk wouldnt have a white spot on its eye, maybe you oculd have removed this afterwards too? anyway good shot, i will come back tomororw :)

Hope you didnt scare the little fella with the flash! My girlfriend cant keep her eyes open for a flash photo, so Im amazed the chipmonk managed it! :P

Great how you managed to capture all the detail through a cage. Nice photo!
