Red Squirrel - Sciurus vulgaris

One of the many images that I took this winter of the red squirrels from Pete Cairns hide.

Finally got lucky with the weather, and it actually felt like winter. In fact after nearly a fortnight I admit to some fatigue of all the backgrounds being a bit samey - i.e. white

Sorry not been around too much, started a new job which is demanding long hours and meaning not much time to photograph anything new or comment too often.

300mm + 1.4x
No exposure details to hand as posted from laptop that does not have the raw file. Will update this later.

Cheryl this is super,can almost feel the cold,lovely image.
Can't find any nits to pick.

very nice Cheryl, great atmosphere

Paul

Thanks guys. As you can imagine I have quite a few files from the various sessions, but I shall keep them rationed on here

Great picture, I need to go find the geordie reds soon, if you use "save as" instead of "save for web" it would leave the exif data in your image for all to see

Hi Cheryl,
That's a cracking shot. A really nice composition.
Congrats on new job.
Eric

a lovely image and a very nice composition. Good exposure too.

Matt

Really like it Cheryl, good composition and good exposure.

Scott

Thanks all.

Did get really lucky with the weather, and then with having such a good location for these sorts of shots, aided by all the hard work that Pete puts in with the props. All I did was be there at the right time and press the shutter button.

Even without the exposure details I do like it very much.
Wonderfull picture, great shot.

Very nice indeed, maybe a tad more work on the levels/curves would add a bit more "pop" to it.

Works for me Cheryl everything spot on.
