Looks like a mini doner kebab. And I think it's a female squirrel, judging by the nipples.

its nicely exposed, but your shutter speed is so fast, you've frozen the blades on the helicopter.. need to shoot 1/60-1/125 to get good rotor blur - this will stop the helicopter looking like it should be dangling on a string..

Meet Hercules:



He's 1" long and about 3/4" wide, and weighs slightly more than 5 grams.

Spotted this fella today behind the house, better than a shot I got yesterday (was overcast and horrible).

Why isn't she looking at you? Nice composition otherwise, exposure's good. Sharpness is almost there - don't know if it's focus/DoF, resizing or compression that's causing some elements in the foreground to be slightly un-sharp (like her hand). Also you never know whether to flatter the subject and keep the face slightly smoother, or whether to really bring out the texture, imperfections and all. If you want to make the nose less prominant then step back further and use a longer focal length - this will also make the background appear closer (yet still blurred).

Nice shot, overall.
