STOPS ALONG THE WAY

TIME OUT

raccoon

There’s a large tree in the reserve which the local raccoons have claimed as their own. On hot summer days we’ve seen them stretched out on the limbs of the tree, waiting for the hint of a breeze. Clever animals, as we push our way through the humid air… The light on the raccoon and tree trunk were very harsh. A few adjustments in Lightroom to the exposure, highlights, contrast and shadows corrected this.

    Beautiful capture, Belinda. It’s been some time since I have encountered a raccoon, but I’m always glad to have the opportunity to capture a picture or two.

    Lovely how the texture of the tree ads to the feel. Great shot!

    I agree with TPJ: What a story this image shows – that glint in the eye and only a bit of the nose showing … a lovely composition.

    Wow. That is great. You caught the right position, composition is wonderful. Don’t want the whole raccoon here. What a story this tells.
