All I can say is cute (again), lower PoV would have been nice... Reds have this appeal don't they.......

All the best...

Think your doing very well with the portraits. If I had to be really picky - try and get lower (get your chin in the dirt) to lose the background which can be very distracting pine needles and/or wait for the squirrels to look up (which they often do before they run off and find more nuts). :toast:
