Camouflage

The forest floor is covered with dried needle that mimic the colours of the native red squirrels beautifully. Not the sharpest image but quite like the out of focus background

Beautiful image. Personally it is sharp enough viewed on laptop screen. The colours are rich and really show off the squirrel. Even with an aperture of f/10 the background is lovely and soft keeping your attention on the subject.
