Would be great when you get him with those 'tuffs'. Great location with a nice mottled BG, just gives it that edge.

A great image. Lovely long straight lines on the squirrel which is not normally seen. Exposure is spot on giving really nice detail in the fur. Simple but very effective. Nice one Phil.

Spot on for me.. Beautifully exposed and such great detail on the squirrel. That pose really makes the shot. Very nicely done.

Composition and pose makes this for me Phil,wonderful image and very different where you have captured its natural behaviour makes this different to the bait fed ones :wink: :wink: :wavey:
