It is a nice pose. I would like to see a view with more of the squirrel facing the camera. Always like to see the smaller critters in photos. TFS.

Nice detail, sharpness and the animal pops from the blue background.

Ken, this is a nice clean look at this squirrel. The angled tree and the empty space create the impression that it's about to jump.

Hi Ken,

Hey...squirrels are cool! I like the simplicity and diagonal flow here. Compositionally this would work a bit better for me if the squirrel was higher in the frame, with end of the tail closer to the upper left corner of the frame. What? You don't compose shots simply to please me?? enlightened

Cheers...

Brad
