Red Squirrel descent
Spent the best part of a week in my local wood photographing red squirrels in the snow back in February. Variable ear tufts and coat coloration amongst the 4 or 5 visitors.

Canon 1D MkIII, Canon 300mm f2.8, ISO 400

Another beauty Mark! The colours are really nice.

Beautifully captured pose, but the out of focus brown vertical line slightly detracts for me. Still a damn fine image though. :smile:

a great shot. The alert pose and snow on the trunk give it something special.

The addition of snow helps make this image what it is along with the pose.

A common pose but one not often seen photographed, like it loads....
