Hi Karen,

Very nice natural setting and the fact that the squirrel is doing something interesting is a real bonus. I would perhaps loose some off the right for a better comp.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Hi i have never seen a Red .. one day :smile:.
you have caught this really well. the light is great, and the detail is amazing, you can see all the indivual pieces of fur.
I would also crop a little from the right too.

great capture

Thanks guys did think about cropping more off the right but didn t know if it would look to cramped.the fact he was leaning to the right I thought I would leave a bit more room,but will try your suggestion :smile:

I am not a lover of square/ish crops-Good detail in the fur especially the whites

Hello Karen.

Love the pose you have captured and the detail is excellent.

Agree with a little of the right.

Lovely pose and action Karen.Nit regarding some off the right covered.As for wishing you were still up in Scotland,I would wait a while.As it warms up there will be more scratching,clumps of hair missing and rather scruffy looking squirrels until the summer coat comes through.
