Oh, A Wise Guy, Eh?

I was debating between a Mortal Kombat theme or more of a 3 Stooges theme – but I just can’t resist the 3 Stooges. I saw these 2 marmots and thought they’d make a nice shot together. Before I knew it, they were going at each other with slaps and biting. I’m not sure if it was a territorial thing or something else (neither was particularly verbal about it afterwards).

I was in Program mode and quickly dropped the aperture from f/2.8 to f/9 to try to make sure they were both in the same focal plane, but in doing so I also dropped the shutter speed to 1/25 sec, so things came out blurrier than I hoped.

Too blurry, or does it give a sense of motion?
