This was at the local Nature Center and I was looking for birds and butterflys. This was a fun capture for me. Two clicks and it was gone.

Love the pose and eye contact! I don't know the species, but wonder if it might need brightened a little?

Hi Jack,
I like the diagonal element presented by the branch and where you've positioned the squirrel in the frame. And, of course, the eye contact is excellent. I'm thinking Ian has a point about the image (or at least the squirrel) needing a little lightening up. The background just to the right of the squirrel looks like a corner of a wall, which adds a "domestic" look to the image that doesn't really add to the image, but it's not a big thing!
Cheers...best wishes for 2010!
Brad
