Hi Smitha,
Hey, this one could be censured!!! ;-D
Certainly at least for me is the first time I see the usually cutie squirrels in this mating pose.
Is a very good picture, proper exposure and high quality of details.
Congratulations and thanks for share.

Smitha,

Great shot. I noticed quite a few of these squirrels at Kodanad. The picture is lovely. You seem to have gone flat on to the ground to take this picture. Great effort to bring this scene out so clearly.

Hi Smitha.
Superb shot of intimate but so fine scene you have shared. Its quality is amazing. I like diagonal location of the substrate and main character, brilliant reproduction of all their features and very nice, wonderfully illuminated and coloured BG. Bravo and kind regards.

Great shot! The colours and the light of the picture look wonderful to me!! I think the head of the squirell at the bottom is a little bit overexposed,.. but anyways,.. excellent shot.

Hello Smitha,
I think this fine action shot of a pair of mating Jungle Palm Squirrels is a first for the species on TN and if so, congratulations!
The shot itself shows the pair of well with good sharpness and colours taken from an excellent POV and set in a pleasing composition.

It is a prize shot, Smitha. We see these little cute creatures all over the place in many parts of India, but I have never seen them mating. In that respect, I'm sure it is the first-ever image on TN.
These denizens of the Western Ghats are different from the three-striped ones we see in North India. They are more colourful too.
The shot is technically superb.
Well done and TFS.

Hi Smitha,
This one is simply brilliant. How lucky you were that time. I can feel the excitement only seeing this in the photo. And I can feel how excited you were that time. Very well captured without shaky hands. Yes thats what happen to me when I get excited :). Excellent composition and details. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi Smitha,
Great mating capture and POV of the action..I think they're smiling :)
Great details, color, and light also. And I like the diffuse colors of the BG that contrast so well. I've got 4 or 5 regulars here, have yet to catch em' the act though.

I used to see this variety often in my parental house in mlore during my childhood days. The duo would be seen chasing and running around jumping from one branch of a tree to another. The coconut trees would be their ideal point of love making. But you evoked those childhood memories..tfs..lovely pic.
