Pat...Just the cutest squirrel and expression as he looks longingly for the possibility of a few peanuts. Wonderful clear capture of all the details and eye. Colours are natural and well composed.

What a great closeup! They can/are pests but they are just trying to make it just like us. You captured this one very well, great sharpness and talk about framing!
I wonder if he was rewarded 2 peanuts for posing for you?

Pat,
A very beautiful backlit picture of your American Red Squirrel perched in the forked branch of a tree the light sparkling in it's eye as it stands out in sharp focus from it's blurred grey background. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan.

A lovely capture of this little rodent. Great focus and clarity showing the details of his fur and whiskers; the background is nicely muted so as not to detract from that little guy.

Yes, this little critter looks so cute and adorable. Great angle, lighting, and focus showing clarity of tiny details with prominence like his whiskers and textures of the fur. Colors are natural and authentic. Love the earth tone colors overall.
Great shot and a fun to view.

Comment from nikman
Quite an interesting nature image posted here. Firstly because that squirrel is not red and why is it regarded as a pest there but not in the UK? Nicely done!
