Rarely do I get a squirrel shot unique enough to show off, but this one I rather like. My only nit (banging head on keyboard) is that I managed to clip the tail, darn it. Does it bother you or am I being hard on myself? I could probably dummy up a tail tip in Photoshop...

Thanks for looking. :)

This is terrific. I love the background and the overcast light is perfect for this subject. The head is up in a power pt from a comp standpt and the little guy is leaning in toward the camera which tops it all off. Congrats!

Very cute pose, the green in the BG is great. Would have liked to see all of the tail. Nice image.

I would like to see the tail as well but the colour, composition, cute face and paws make up for it. Besides those keyes make nasty marks on your forehead :P

The strong subject and excellent composition make up for the tail! - besides, its only a tip of fur missing. 8) :)

Great image with a lot of impact. I think it would be even stronger if you cropped the bottom up to about 1/2 of the tail. Forget the tip. Well done.

Excellent pose and detail. The rest of the tail would be nice but the picture is still very good as is.
