Not only is it a she...

Had to post this pic of my friendly squirrel. Always thought it was a female due to the size but now the pic proves it. Not only is she a she but she is also pregnant (swollen teats)

Great pose and good focus on the eye. My only comment is that the depth of field has thrown the nose out of focus, while the hands are clear. For me it would be better with the nose clearer.

By the way, male squirrels are easy to spot as they are always carrying large nuts!

lol regarding nuts. Yes I agree ref. the nose. I am still getting the hang of new pentax and whilst lens that came with it are ok they obviously leave a lot to be desired. Having said that i blame the out of focus nose on my own skills as opposed to the tool
