Jo, I must have caught this right after you posted it. At first, the image was empty. Now, I see it. That tissue is probably a toy. He must be comfortable around you to throw it down and chase it down in front of you. Nice compositiin and framing. Good focus. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image

A cute & candid capture!!
What is he doing--reading?!?
;-))

Or post sneezing gesture?
Great story telling factor.
Pin sharp focusing.
Gorgeous lighting.
Ideal framing.
Too bad there's no tail captured!
Great blue sky lends a soothing backdrop...
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Thanks for sharing...

At first glance I thought he looked like he was reading the paper. The focus and clarity are excellent and the dark blue sky is perfect to show off his coloring.
Thank you!

Hi Jo thanks so much for sharing your fabulous photo of the squirrel perched up there blowing his nose.. So funny.. as soon as I saw the picture I thought the same thing before reading your notes.. too cute... and a wonderful shot.. the clarity is amazing and perfectly focused. His colouring blends in well with the branches of the tree. We don't have squirrels where I live in Australia.. He is rather awesome.. thanks for sharing and very best of luck in the contest. cheers mel

Comment from nikman
Quite an interesting, if not fascinating nature shot presented here! Your full and almost central composition grants us a good look at the situation. Perhaps there were some morsels of food in the tissue? Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

OMG what an adorable shot of this squirrel. It looks exactly like it is holding a tissue. You should send this in to a Kleenex company for advertisement. This is just way too cute!
Excellent color, clarity and detail. Best wishes for the contest. This sure has the cuteness factor!
Love it.

Comment from karen zima
I'm going to give this a 6 because at first I thought it was a squirrel reading the newspaper. I think if it were my photo, I would get a Wall Street Journal logo and photo shop it in. The sky is so blue and a great color for showing off the squirrel. The twisted branches add to the already intriguing photo. The focus is sharp and intense. I love it. Well worth a six.
