Lol it's like he is posing for you! Love those hairy painted ears! Just too cute! Nice contrast with this little red squirrel and the snow. It makes his color come out. Great entry for the contest! Good luck!

Thank you! I thought he was posing too, he looked at me and stood up all cute so I am pretty sure it was a pose for me :)

This is a great captured almost whimsical photo! You have really caught him in a fun upright position. Great color and exposure. Great clarity and detail. Good contest contender! Best of luck!

These red squirrels are the smallest and the most aggressive squirrels I have in my yard. If you feed the birds you get the squirrels. A nice shot with good colors. Best of luck in the contest.

A precious photo, capturing the beauty of this guy, especially that tail. Little feet, in the snow. The subject and the focus are spot on. Great work.

Yes, I've never seen this kind before, most of them gray. Very nice shot. He seems to me posing on propose to show his beauty. Looks very calm and comfortable. Thanks for sharing

That is one cute squirrel! Nice capture getting him/her at just the right moment. Composition looks good...fills the frame nicely. Your description adds a lot.
