I think you just aren't getting tight enough. Can I suggest this is where the picture is?

I'm forced to agree with Ken. The closer crop says a lot more. I just wish I'd remember to do that when I snap our local squirrels!!
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

They look good, you can probably get a bit more details out if you sharpen them a bit.

Love the squirrel's posture and Ken's crop is a great improvement. Also maybe put the food on some natural ground instead of tarmac.

The robin is nice and sharp, but that black pole isn't helping things. Can it be moved?
