Hello Debz,
Superb capture of the Grey Squirrel in a nice feeding pose. I like the POV and composition on the sloping tree trunk in this technically excellent shot.
Well done and TFS!

Lovely capture of this little Squirrel.
+++ As usual the clarity is superb and conserves a lot of detail especially in the fur.
I really like the pose and the way it looks really contented while eating that nut.
--- Absolutely nothing :)
You show our wildlife in Britain so well.
Thankyou for sharing Deborah.
Well done,
Joe

Deborah,
GREAT notes, Deb. And you are, ARE right. Man must not interfere with nature. This species should have been left in the U.S. I LOVE THE RED SPECIES TOO.
This is EXCATLY what we, man, did by bringing 'slaves' into the Americas.
We are gradually destroying ourselves.
The focusing is accurate and so is the sharpness. No noise.
Lovely, indeed.

Come and visit, someday???

Hi Deborah,
A nice capture of this feeding squirrel!
I like the pose caught, holding the peanut with its frontal legs.
It's very appelaing the composition made with the form of the trunk and the green background.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hello Deborah, great photo of this little squirrel, so sharp and so funny too. This little one had many fights, look at its ears, they're torn! Beautiful colours as well, it is just a great picture ;-). I saw on television the other day that some people in England are reuniting to fight against the grey squirrels to get the red squirrels back (because they are disappearing). They go out with guns and everything, and kill the grey squirrels in order to let the red ones reclaim their territory. I hardly could believe this and to be true, I didn't watch the whole thing, I just couldn't do it. I saw those guys get out their truck with guns and I changed the station... Have a good Sunday and thanks again for this nice photo of a British grey squirrel!

Hello Deborah,
Lovely capture of this little Squirrel having his meal. Great sharpness and beautiful colours of his fur. It looks like a beautiful old tree he's resting on too and the light background is a fine contrast. A very fine composition!

Hello Deb,
Very good capture all the way-round. The problem shooting the squirrel in the tree's shadow, is that the brighter BG can cause exposure problems many times. But you managed it nicely I see..
Great POV, sharpness, details, comp, color...and all that nutty action too ;-}}

Hi Debz

What a charming character you have here. This cute pocket-sized Grey Squirrel looks fabulous with the peanut and the lovely highlight in the eye. You have captured good details of the little rodent and the colour rendition is very natural. Actually the dark bark of the tree and the well OOF area in the BG makes the little guy stand out nicely in the shot. The composition is great with the tree basically cutting the image in half, leaving 2 triangles. The exposure was well managed with the ISO400, f/7.1 aperture & 1/30 shutter speed thus making full use of the available light. You also did a fine job to prevent any camera shake at the rather slow shutter speed.

Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot
