Lovely photography, I like the way the hand bends and that that is mirrored by the baby squirrel's rolled up sleeping...

Lovely tones on the skin of the hand, Thomas. Is that Tri-X ASA 320? I've found Edwal 12 to be a bit relentless in the images it creates, but this is just great.

Thanks guys. He was indeed very cute.

Trask, it's 400TX. Edwal 12 can be anything you want it to be. Almost... I slow down agitation quite a bit, doing 2- or 3-minute intervals if I have bright highlights. This was 2-minute interval.
The developer was primarily designed to brighten up flat lighting. But I use it for everything, and it's the most rewarding developer I've ever used once I started to understand how to use it. Thanks for the comment!

Nice thing you did Thomas. Nice shot too. We have a wild living Squirrel that my son has named "Joe" that hangs around our yard, begs for bread crusts and stretches out and suns himself on the deck. You actually have to shoo him away from the door sometimes because he tries to come inside.

Fantastic Thomas ! I had a very similar story with a baby seagull, will post picture here soon.
This is a really lovely capture on film, couldn't be done better.
