I do like these animals in their environment type shots. Unfortunately for me this shot doesn't quite work as I find the large branch to the left a bit over-powering and my eyes are drawn to that rather than the squirrel. Looks as if you've nailed the exposure and focus on your subject so in that respect good work :toast:

Best wishes.

It does look a bit lost amongst all that stuff, but a good environmental shot IMO

Good composition - I quite like it!

A nice environment shot, though my eye does get drawn by the dominant lighter log on the left, a crop from the left and top also appears to work well... the 300/4 does need to be stopped down slightly for best sharpness, looking at the techs you could have done so here, perhaps to 4.5 or 5.6 although this may have introduced unwanted bg distractions...

I like the compositiona nd the inclusion of the environment - always my favourite kind of shot.
