This gray squirrel looks so defensive as if saying to you that he did not do something wrong. Excellent angle and focus. The snow added so much life and refreshment in this scene.

    Hi Nieves.. He's just miffed because it's late morning and he hasn't had his peanuts and corn. He's letting me know that this poor service must improve, after all he is very busy and can't wait. Thank you so much, for the review and great rating ... Bob

Bob,
A very beautiful portrait of Murray your American Grey Squirrel with a droplet of melted snow on his whiskers above his nose. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Hi Bob, I've always loved the way squirrels hold their paw up to their chest like this. Murray looks very cute in that position. Love how he's just patiently waiting for his handout. Love the focus and lighting you have in this shot. You even captured the falling snow and captured a little bit right by his nose. A joy to view! Good Job! :o) Nancy

A great capture of a squirrel with great focus and clarity a good nickname for a squirrel. I have one I have been feeding for years. Now climbs my leg and back to get peanuts and seeds. I've created a monster !

This is absolutely gorgeous. I love how you've captured this beautiful squirrel. Composition, shades, tones, colors, and background highlight your subject in such a pleasing way. I just want to cuddle him. Thank you for sharing.

This photograph captures a delightful moment featuring Murray, a squirrel, standing atop a snow-covered post, patiently awaiting his daily treats. The image exudes a sense of quiet anticipation as Murray, with his alert and curious expression, stands poised and ready for his well-deserved snack.

The snow-covered post adds a picturesque element to the scene, with the pristine white snow creating a beautiful contrast against Murray's fur. The sharpness of the photograph ensures that every detail of Murray's fur and the texture of the snow is crisply defined, adding to the overall visual appeal.

Murray looks like he STILL needs to lose weight...lol. I love this shot, he looks so chill and content to let you take his picture, probably because he knows he'll be rewarded for his pose. I aspire to be this good someday, to clearly catch the snow falling while focused on another subject. I love that we can really see every little hair on his head and every color of his fur so perfectly, he really is adorable and you obviously have a friendly mooch, not a pest, at this point. Love this ❤️

    Hi Lisa.. Moving in came as a shock to Murray. The house had been vacant for a while and Murray kind of got the idea that the house and all it encompassed was his. But after a few days of chattering and shaking his tail at us he relented when he realized we liked peanuts to.

    I'm glad you liked the post. Thank you, for the excellent review and rating!... Bob

You've got an eye for nature photography! I am viewing another lovely capture of the little fellas.The framing works beautifully, and the blend of light, shadows, and vibrant colors makes this shot stand out. Fantastic effort!

Great shot here Bob of Murray the Mooch lol. Great close up with good detail. Good natural colours and exposure. Great focus, texture and clarity with good background bokeh complete with soft snow flakes. Well done and thanks for sharing :-)
