OK, corny title I know, but I'm open to other suggestions if you can think of something better.
I went to visit a local churchyard, which was frequented by a pair of song thrushes last year. Alas, no sign of them this year, but this inquisitive grey squirrel did serve to brighten my day.

"Here lies the Red Squirrel" Only jealous since we only have red ones over here....
I would be tempted to try and pull some colour from the lichens, maybe darken the stone a little? White stripe is a bit offputting across the bottom but otherwise a pleasing to the eye kind of shot, well composed.
Hi David, agree with Neil's observations, plus perhaps a little off the top?
Some nice thinking going on David with your images.

Hi David, cheered me up this one Agree with the others re the suggestions. Of course they are only trying to help and so nothing to get 'cross' about
Reminds me of a lookout in the 'crosstrees'

I was cross with one this morning. I caught it chewing at my garlic bulbs. At least I can smell it coming next time. They are a pain in the backside but you can't help but admire them in someways. A monumental image David.
