This is stunning, I have never seen an albino squirrel before yet I saw loads of them all the time. Lovely focus and presentation. Beautiful :)

a great find Grace: never seen an albinos squirrel, not as white as the snow Under his feet;
sharp focus with excellent details; good control of exposure for he whites;

    Thank you for your nice comments! I have seen many albino squirrels, but not the white squirrels with the dark eyes.

Cool,Grace!
It's been a long time since I've happened upon one of these creatures,my friend!
They're scarcer around here than Albino humans! ( And I do know one of those and she won't allow me to post my photos of her here on FAR! : ( )
You're photo of this specimen,who looks like he's about to scamper away through the snow,looks Great! : )

This is fantastic, Gracie! I have never seen or maybe even heard of an albino squirrel before. Your white balance is perfect on the squirrel and the snow. Your focus on his face, especially that eye is pin sharp! The dark soft background is really nice to help this guy pop! Beautiful work!

Great contrast of colors in this photo with the Whites of the snow and the Squirrel against the darker background. Beautifully focused and the detail in the little guy is great.

This is first albino squirrel I have seen, and I think it looks really lovely with the white fur. Perhaps not Snow White, but almost as white as the snow, and with the dark background, it is standing out in an excellent way.

Your photo is nice and sharp showing such clear and well defined details in every part of the animal, and the white balance and exposure is perfect.

The format and framing works so well and the Squirrel has got a fine placement within the frame. A truly lovely and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

Comment from Sange


Ha! No not quite indeed!
I just wish they did not have red eyes then they be cuter.
I like the diagonal placement of the squirrel, sharp focus and I am VERY pleased to see white balance controlled so well on a white subject in the white snow.
What a rare find, capture and informative notes to go along with this fine capture.
Well Done MONTY!! ;)
