Nice action shot. The light looked like it was very contrasty.

The squirrels are fine John. What my eye lands on is the sapling that runs the length of the frame, skewering the bottom subject! :wink:

A cute frame John. I must admit that the harsh light and the busy BG detract a little from my appreciation of it as a work of art though.

Fun to watch I'm sure. BG is busy but the only the bright sapling bothers me.
