This squirrel (Cyrill's relative was nearly tame, if I had taken some peanuts with me I think it would have been even closer.

A very fine example of a Cyril

Speaking very personally it's a pity about the leaves etc in the foreground having lost their colour - is it possible to anything about that as cropping wouldn't really work ?

Unfortunately I think your camera has focussed on its bum, and not its head Nice pose though!

I agree the camera seems to have focussed on the bum - stilla nice shot though

That one looks like a well fed Cyril
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

It is a good pose, but the poor focus means it can't be called a good photo. With any animal, including humans, the eyes almost always need to be in focus because it is the eyes that we look at.

The terminator is also right to mention the distracting foreground leaf. Tight cropping will get rid of most of it, but this will emphasise the focus problem.

Practice makes perfect.

Thanks for all the comments, the learning slope is getting steeper.
