IHow refreshing to see a Red Squirrel in a totally different setting. Agree with Steve a little more on the rhs. Could be my monitor but wonder if the nose area needs a little more USM? Overall a lovely image though. Look forward to more.

I agree, a bit tight on the right but still an excellent image
Well done.
Geoff.

A lovely setting Edwin.
I agree that a bit more on the right would strengthen things overall.

This would work well as a postcard image. An idylic scene

Hello Edwin.
Its a lovely shot and beautifully taken and the composition is just right for me.
The only nit for me its looks like you have been playing in PS at the top of the image. As from the Squirrels ears along its back and all the way round the tail the background is darker than the area above which seems strange how it follows the Squirrel perfecly.

I agree with Guy but still a lovely image!

Works well, Edwin. Keep trying the other stuff too though.
Cheers,
Chris

Thanks guys,
No cloning involved Guy. I changed the background a bit and the results are much better now. See this image, including the kinky barb wire It's a bit tight on the LHS but I'm working on that. The squirrel is extremely close and never sits still.

I like it with the barbed wire. Excellent work again.

Barbed wires a bit distracting, catches your eye and takes you away from the squirrel otherwise cracking!

Like the image. Like Craig though I find the barb distracting and not really necessary.

You know probably if there was more space on the rhs people would complain it was too central
I like but then I'm a sucker for red squirrel images. Always find it difficult to compose in the upright because of the shape of the squirrel, so I think this works well.
I'd like to see one in landscape orientation showing more of the vegetation, just as a comparison.
