This is a shot from last Fall of a Golden Mantled ground squirrel. They are fun to photograph and come up with some nice poses.
Taken with a Canon 50D with Sigma 150-500 OS lens.

Nice pose and interesting perch Clayton, (sounds like I'm talking about a bird). They do make cute photo subjects, nice job on the exposure.

Hi Clayton,
I definitely like the foreground and subject - nice pose, sitting on a visually appealing stump/snag - but the branches in the background provide a little too much visual "clutter" for my taste (but I tend to like very simple images - definitely a personal preference issue). Technically the image is quite strong - exposed well, sharpness and detail good, and you depth of field looks pretty much spot-on to me.
Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

What a cute little Squirrel, Clayton! The perch is very nice indeed. As Brad said the BG is a bit busy.
