The neighbour's dog chased this raccon up a tree, and both animals stayed in their position for most of the day. The dog with head up watching and sometimes barking and the raccoon hugging the tree and hanging on. Finally when they decided it was enough play for the dog they took him back in the house.

I watched and waited till the raccoon decided to come down, and was able to sort of corner him. He came down backwards and when he turned around there I was, when he faced me he was not quite sure if he prefered the dog or me as pointing a camera at him was probably not too reassuring, he sort of froze up. I took my shot, slowly walked away not knowing if he might be rabid and he took off like a bat out of hell ready to get himself something to eat after a long day's wait.

Hi Dot,great night shot,he does look a little guilty about something,from that expression.Normally these guy's travel in pairs or with their whole family,I think the dog was lucky
the racoon stayed up the tree,those claws of the theirs can do some serious damage when their frightened enough to defend themselves.TFS

Nice capture Dot. Not sure if i like the frame or not. I have taken one of a raccoon which came out quite well but unfortunately i managed to cut a bit of his/her rear.
Cheers

This is wonderful, the look on his face, Dot. You have done a terrific job of this night shot and the way the light shows him so perfectly. This is a case where the frame really is absolutely perfect, to compliment the image.
Magnifique,
Amitiés sincères

Il semble s'être fait prendre sur le fait ;o)
J'adore la manière dont vous photographier les animaux. Ils ont l'air expressifs!
Le cadrage gris, ça fait changement. J'aime.
Bonne fin de semaine Dot.

Well isn't this a sweetie. I like the framing! Also, how those beady little eyes are watching you. A great pose. TFS and Happy Easter.

Hi Dot,
Wonderful clarity to this decisive moment shot of the handsone coon. His big eyes are very well seen and his little mask comes through very sharply.

Good light and professional work.
You have done a terrific job and the way the light shows him so perfectly.

Your title describes him well Dot, his eyes have the glint of a bandit. A nice shot and the framing works well here, also a excellent note.

good capture for that moment shot.the raccoon's feeling presented through their eyes very well.I like your light spot at center and soft look around as well as your frame:)
