there is a lot of controversy about Squirrels in England so I am happy to see your photo. When I lived in Arkansas, I don't drive, I walk everywhere, I saw little piles of acorns etc squirrels had collected. I have never been in such a beautiful environment as Arkansas, it still takes my breath away thinking of it-- but they do not want helpless former DP's who are not wanted by the english who brought us to WORK post war there, and now use us as 'things'to try out illegal REMOTE torture on- Today they are pressing down my skull, which is very painful, it is only a short time but it is painful, paid for by Kissinger 63 million to the UK to use the population, and 10 million in the pocket of the Health Minister for allowing it, now law permitted- not to be considered as human beings, as the War Lords are in it. anyway lovely picture. If they rupture a blood vesel, they died as many do on the isle, of medical causes!!

This is a nicely done, opportunistic capture. The framing is good and the soft background helps maintain focus on the squirrel. I may be wrong, but the squirrel's face looks a little soft.

    Thank you. You are right the face is a little soft. The little critter was just too fast for me and was in process of running away with his prize. I have a greater appreciation for wildlife photographers who get the shot in perfect focus.

This is a great photo but I dread thinking of the snow to come.... :( Lol. Excellent detail, color, focus, and clarity. I love the squirrels stance and demeanor. Very nicely done!! Thanks for sharing.

Very good entry for the contest. Great capture of the lovely little squirrel grabbing the peanut in his mouth before he scurries away. I like the pose you caught here.

Lighting and focus very good showing excellent detail. Very nice composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Very cute capture, the clarity is great. The angle of the shot of the squirrel with nut in mouth is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer, good eye and great job overall.

Cute photo and capture of this squirrel scurrying to eat all the peanuts before the birds get them. I like the movement and blurred focus to show action. Excellent technique. Coloring's on fur are nice and even toned. Really good action photo. Nice job.

    Thank you. I used sport mode on the camera and so it took multiple shots. Even then it wasn't the best image I had hoped for. I gained a lot of respect for wildlife photographers who get such stunning sharp images.

    Thank you. The face is a little soft. It just makes me respect those wildlife photographers much more who get everything so sharp and clear.

I know just how hard it is to capture these guys sharply. They are never "still" unless you surprise them, then their instinct is to stay still. Love the background colors they really help him pop off the picture.

Well done!
