Caught this little one right above me makeing its rounds from branch to branch feeding.

Canon 7D, ef70-200L IS II @ 175mm, 1/60sec, iso200, AP, f/5, handheld, strong backlight so I used some fill flash, small exposure adjustment in CS5

C&C welcome

Beautiful. Those two tender branches sticking out of the truck look like mini tree

Hi David, I really like that fanned out back-lit tail and the good detail on the squirrel. What detracts from my appreciation of this however is the washed out sky. This is one situation where flash can really help balance the exposure to prevent that washed out sky, but that would have required dialing in some negative exposure compensation to expose the sky correctly.

Thanks, for the advice on less exposure and using flash for fill light...
