Hello Badruddin,
This is a wonderful capture!
I remember seeing a giant Squirrel in the Western Ghats when we were in Goa a few years ago but I never had the chance to photograph it.
Nice sharp and well composed with excellent lighting.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hi Badruddin,
I am sad to see this beautiful animal is endangered. Your capture has great composition, color and detail.

Nice photo (and Giant squirrel). Good details and contrast with the sky. TFS. Best regards, Cezar T.

Hello Badruddin,
This is a very interesting specie! I think it's funny that they are called "giant" because from what I see here, it not seems to be that big :) I love this POV, details and composition. This blue sky makes a wonderful BG and you caught this squirrel in a very nice moment and good pose. Interesting notes too. Thanks,
Claudine

Hello Badruddin

A very good capture of this squirrel.One of the things I like most about TN is being able to see the fauna from other parts of the world.Nicely composed with good acrobatic action.TFS

Rob

Uma captura excelente de um animal se alimentando. Bom o nível de detalhes.

Marlon

Great capture, Mr. Ali.
The subject is in perfect focus against the blue BG.
The composition with those branches around the squirrel is very attractive.
Thanks and take care.
