This is very cute. The capture is great. I love this in black and white. I really like the lighting, and the soft highlights on him.

Wow!
This picture is so beautiful in black and white! I know just the other day I just comment on the other squirrel picture and told you how much I loved that picture but I think I like this one more!
I just love squirrels, I think they are so cute! Some people don't like them they think they are like rats with a fluffy tails!
I really like the clear focus. You got mad skills with the camera!
Awesome job and good luck in the contest!

AWESOME! Love the B&W. The overall focus, especially the eye is perfect. Contrast and texture of fur is great.

You KNOW it is a great shot! I am out of sixes, but this is really a six star shot! It isn't just the clarity and well done composition, but the balance of light and dark that make this so lovely! Donkeyoatey

Good Morning Willie

Love this one. Great lighting. I like the composition Willie. The face and eye is clear and crisp. Details stand out on face and body. Background supports the subject.

I am surprised at the sharpness in the available light.

This image is well done.

This is great in black and white. Very clear and focused. Good DOF. Nicely cropped. I hate the squirels eating my bird food. haha

Willie, this is an awesome shot! Love the tight cropping and the black and white effect. Very moody and mysterious! Deep background is a big plus as well. Well done!
