Hells bells Will. That must be a very noisy shutter on that camera. This squirrel looks like he is having a heart attack. Very different pose which I like a lot. If you are more skilled in PS then you may want to try and take out those highlights from behind the head and tail.

Thanks guys!
Robert, I know what you mean! And for the highlights I may try that. Although I'd rather avoid editing that if possible, is it a major problem ?

Great shot, looks to me like he's saying "Who Me"

I wouldn't say it's a major problem Will. However, I would say that if your editing skills are no better than mine then it's probably best to leave well alone. I'd rather see the highlights than a botched clone job.
