Hi Silpa,

I saw squirrels every day when I lived on the East coast and never, ever, did I see a scene like this! Great timing to catch this moment so perfectly. I remember seeing this species in India and loved them. Excellent colors, details, setting, background and composition.

Hi Silpa!

I would like to congratulate you for this magnificent picture! It's a beautiful testimony of the life out in nature and a superb example of a wildlife picture. Moreover, it gets its real dimension together with the very interesting and pleasant notes. On the technical side, I particularly like the unity of the colour tones and the composition with the branch and the dark background.

Kind regards

An absolute treasure in composition, technique and presentation. We tend to prioritize the mechanics and yet miss some of the more important roles which nature plays...Very fine picture and well received in the thoughts which went though you as you took this one!

Hello Silpa,
A fine paparazi capture of a couple of tree squirrels taken in superb lighting to allow excellent sharpness against an OOF dark natural BG that make them show up superbly well.
The composition is good too but if you had the chance to take it with just a little more space below the hanging tail it would have been perfect.
A delightful capture in any case and thanks for sharing it!
Hvae a good weekend,
Ivan

Assalamualaikkum Silpa,

This is really nice shot with the pair in their moment of intimacy. The big trunk and the diagonal lighting are just brilliant in the frame. Very well written notes and something beautiful for us all in TE from North India. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week ahead.

Best regards,

Coucou Silpa, this is beautiful and what great notes. I have learned through reading them. The first thing I noticed in your picture is the beautiful light, almost dimmed, and the colours of the picture, all brownish, almost monochrome. It gives a distinct feel to your picture and what is going on with these two. I would call it intimacy. Many thanks, a wonderful post.

Hello Silpa,
First of all, I must apologise for my callous tardiness.
You wrote such a wonderful critique on my mountain picture nearly two weeks ago and I forgot to reciprocate or even write a word in thanks. I am ashamed! After all, you are still a busy student and your being able to find time to write a detailed critique was an act of extraordinary kindness and consideration on your part.
At the same time, I was a loser too to have missed seeing this eloquent image you created with so much feeling and also with immense technical dexterity. I remember the days you used to borrow somebody's camera with a degree of diffidence. Now you own one and use it like a professional. I'm so happy.
Needless to say, this is an image that, accompanied by a well-penned note, leaves one full of joy at seeing something in nature that is evocative of an emotion given to all the creatures in equal measure -- LOVE.
The picture says it all. No need for stereotyped words.
Thanks and regards.
Ram

Hello Silpa,

The nom de plume "iris hues" is very appropriate and your gallery has pictures that are taken with diligence. You seem a professional photographer.

Very nice emotion captured and the POV was apt.
Keep Shooting!
