Very cute squirrel shot. Nice contrast between foreground and background. Amazing ears on that creature.

Hello Harry,
That's a great capture of the red Squirrel in a very charming pose. Excellent DOF, great sharpness and nice colours. I like the soft background too in this lovely composition.
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Hi Harry.
Wow, an absolutly stunning image. Look at the way he is hanging on with those feet. Composition, sharpness, detail, colour, DOF, all spot on. The ears are amazing, you can see all the hairs on them, face, whiskers, just stunning.
The tail does not really worry me cut off because it is falling out of focus into the background and most important out the left corner of the image.

One more time, WOW.

Hi Harry

Superb shot of the Red Squirrel, nicely composed shot with a great pose, I think Squirrels are some of the best posers in the Animal World, very nice detail and perfectly saturated colours too.

Hello Harry,
Yes the guilliotined tail is the only nit in this otherwise superb capture of a Red Squirrel. Everything else is first class, the sharpness, BG, lighting and composition.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Great photo. The focus is sharp throughout and the pose couldn't be better. Didn't notice the tail until you mentioned it, but that is the only nit with the photo. Nice.

"Oh what big ears you have!"
Oh, it's a squirrel! And a cute one at that!
It looks so strange to me, since our squirrels have very short ears.
A very sharp image in a fantastic composition.
I love the way it is holding on to the ends of the wood.
Since your image does not show the ground, it gives off the illusion that he is hanging on for dear life at a high and perilous altitude.

Hello Harry
A very nice shot ofthe curious squirrel .It does seem to be looking at some point, probably searching for the origin of some noise nearby.Those pricked up ears are a great capture.
Nice posture and PoV rendering a beautiful composition.
TFS & Cheers

Dear Harry;

Good catch of moment and composition of Squirrel. But colours are over saturated. And photo contains blurred parts, especially at ears. Tail cropped unaesthetically.

Regards, Have a nice day

Hi Harry
Another professional image (I hate words like amateur, professional and so on...); just want to mention this is great photography!
A minor nit is the tail being cut off through the edges at the left bottom corner. I wonder if you agree?
Congrats though!

Ha Harry,

dit is ook weer zo´n plaatje waar ik niets over weet te zeggen
het enige dat er aan scheelt vertel je zelf al
voor de rest is deze plaat PERFECT

Hallo Harry
What a fine shot. This is really a beautiful image with lots of detail to appreciate. The ears standing up straight in the air is super special. The clarity of the nails on the paws, the long whiskers, the big eyes and not to forget to mention that thick furry tail is just great. The branch on which you have captured it on adds speciality to this already fine image. I enjoyed looking at this one. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards
Anna

Superbe frimousse en pleine surprise. La posture de l'écureil sur cette branche est extra ... bien mise en valeur par cette profondeur de champ.
J'adore !
