funny, the squirrel looked like it wanted a hug

Indeed. He surely looks like he wants a hug. What a beautiful little guy.

The light is good, focus is spot on and the colours are natural. A blue sky would have made it better but that is not always possible and you weren't allowed edits in this contest.

Very well done.

an excellent entry to my contest; I like squirrels, and unfortunately we don't have any in our area;
squirrels are always funny looking but you really captured a very funny attitude with an excellent title;

maybe he did...

interesting angle of shot, nice focus and details, but the colors and contrast need to be adjust

good luck with the contest and thanks for sharing

Good timing to capture this one! He looks like he's reaching out to you for a hug! Well focused, the image is clear, cute subject, interesting and unusual pose , good detail in his face, good eye contact! This is just adorable! The only think that could have improved this would have been a blue sky! Well presented and best to you in the contest!

This made me laugh out loud! He does look like he wants either a hug or the entire bag of birdseed. That expression is priceless. A really cute entry for this contest. Best of luck.

This is a great photo. I have never seen a squirrel caught in this pose before lol. Your focus, framing, and lighting are all excellent. You captured this squirrel in the most perfect position and I thank you for sharing this with us. :)

Hug me? More like catch me as I jump. LOL. What a wonderful catch. That the focus is perfect means that the shutter setting was correct. Great photos! Well done.

I'm guessing he was about to jump which makes the humorous position. The only thing that bothers me a little is the stark almost white background. Nice focus.

Would love to indeed! Your fine composition captures a very enjoyable animal action moment!! Wonder what, apart from a hug, it is reaching out for? Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

    Thank you. I did not know what it was really reaching for. I must have thought she had food but she did not. We did just have lunch and this was outside the Restaraunt. Maybe people were feeding this little guy but sadly we did not have anything to give him. I would only give shelled peanuts anyway. But it was a funny action from him, at least I thought it was a funny thing to do.
