This is really not my thing at all, but I don't think Andy Rouse has been through here for a while, so I saw the opening

Had the old 1970's Tamron Adaptal 135mm on the K7. Just a couple of grabs while the kids were running around, using catch-in-focus. I'm not planning a lot of this sort of thing, but i'm always looking to improve, so all C & C will be much appreciated!

That first shot is a cracker, the OOF branch leads the eye in beautifully to the squirrel. Top stuff.

The squirrel is very good Nigel, nice composition, good exposure and sharp. You could maybe bring the levels up a bit, but that aside it's an excellent image.

I don't think the duck shot works so well, there's too much going on and nowhere in particular for the eye to settle.

Thanks Snappy the little thing was very obliging and I saw the tree adding some extra interest.

Thanks also David for for the kind words, and I understand your point about the 2nd shot - probably a closer view would be better - I was stuck on a small bridge with just the 135mm though, and thought the water and the far distance OOF area gave some context. There is a lot going though
