Red Squirrel

From near the centre of Belfast in Belvoir Forest Park. 1d2n 400 F5.6. This is mainly used by grey squirrels and rats and magpies and if you are lucky a Red Squirrel may come along. Magpies in bright light have got to be one of the hardest birds to meter for I took a hundred shots today and not one I could print.

Personally speaking, i'm not overly keen on this type of shot {feeders included}, but it looks a well taken shot, and no dought there is a market for this sort of image {especially as it is conveying a message}.

Nicely done!

A bit like Johns' moorhen - a shot that just had to be taken

As an ex press snapper this sort of image really appeals to the now dormant photo-journalist in me - I like it a lot - and I could see this image having some real commercial value as a library image.

Cool shot

I really like this Craig because it tells a story. First reaction when I saw it was to feel sorry for the squirrel, so for me it carries an emotional charge - the dark shadows(foreboding) and the netting(prison). Very good PJ sort of shot.

You look in any garden nature book and you will see loads of shots like this(i mean with feeders).So it HAS a big commercial value to it.

I think its great.You have the sighn which say's it all.And you have the Squirrel there to show what the sighn is all about.

This stands out to me as very commercial as others have already said, it would not surprise me in the least to see this in print in the future.
