Thank you for sharing.

My personal perspective and comments should not ever be confused with a negative, critical, or bad critique. I apologize, if my review offends. My goal is not to harm, but to simply share my truth, which of course may not be your truth. My opinion and perspective are free to accept or reject. My only hope is that this has helped you in some way.

Terrific close up shot of this guy, capturing his great color, details, and texture of his fur. Fantastic clarity in the focus showing the snow caught in his whiskers.

Comment from Kbanich
A wonderful close up that offers crystal clear detail achieved through sharp focusing and a steady hand.

The visibility of water and snow offer a nice addition to the image. Fur and whiskers are tack sharp. Color is natural and real. The tight frame allows for focused appreciation by the viewer on the facial feathers of this squirrel.

Very well done. Kathy
