[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Eastern Gray Squirrel is a tree dwelling rodent, a very common species of squirrels, mostly found in North America. It is a tree squirrel, which belongs to the genus Scirus, and is native to Midwestern United states. It is often found in woodlands, suburban areas and urban areas. It is a prolific and an adaptable species. I was earlier introduced in the areas western United States, and now it thrives there. These squirrels are not gray in color; they are actually a mixture of black, browns and whites. They are actually banded with whitish ends, due to which they assume a grayish look.

Hi Bill,
Good sharpness and the i liked the pose of this gray squirrel.the position of the tail and the POV is good.On the composition front i would have included a little bit more space on the right.

Hello Bill,
great capture of this squirrel with excellent sharpness and lovely details. I also like the natural colours and the nice contrast against the dark background. The white is partly overexposed, but that doesn't bother me at all.
Best wishes,
Helmut
