Very cute ! But I do think you should crop that closer - the subject is pretty small in comparison to the real estate.

Now that is one fat squirrel Nice capture, lovely and sharp in all the right places. It really pops off the background. I agree it would probably look better cropped a bit closer.

Nice shot.
But I hate the way those things always look at you as if you're nuts...and they're hungry... crazy evil squirrels...
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Judging by the size of that one I think it eats legs as well as nuts.
Lurking is shirking.!

In many places people live in fear of zombies... but not here in Winnipeg, where most of the year the sub zero temps make sure any non living beings remain frozen slabs of immobile meat. But those things terrify me!
incredibly brave photographer to get close enough to photograph one of those with only a 200mm zoom lens.

and still he took the time to compose and focus it nicely before obviously running for his life!
