A follow up from yesterday. It's a lot of squirrels right now and they are eating and collecting for the winter. It's quite funny to see them hide the food.
It's cute when it's is looking for cones.

Hi Gert,
A lovely shot of this little fellow and you're right, he is cute. I love the composition with the space around the Squirrel, it works very well. Nice to see a wild red one too, not a common sight for me. Nice detail, perfect colours and great DOF.
Regards,
Adrian

Hi Gert,
You really succeeded in catching this fellow at the exact moment, just when he looks like having caught a glimpse of something highly interesting! They really look cute with that special air of theirs, looking both curious and mischievous at the same time. Thank you very much for this cheering greeting!
Take care,
Goran

I love the light and the pose in this shot, Gert.
A cute little fellow with a very expressive face.
Wonderful details and colors.

Hi Gert

I love this shot. What a great pose. Nice OOF BG. Clear sharp details. 11 out of 10! :-)

Excellent shot Gert.
Lovely pose you have caught here. The reds of the squirrel look fantastic against the green OOF BG.
Very well done.

hi gert
ce joli petit ecureuil est moins foncé que le mien,il semble que leur couleur change en fonction des saisons,le BG vert donne du tonus au cliché.

Hi Gert.
Looking at yours squirrels, I had a strong desire to make similar pictures. Now it has started to come true.

Your picture is surprising and fine. Juicy, bright colors, exclusive accuracy of details, an excellent composition and an expressive background put this picture in a number of outstanding photos.

With wishes of excellent health and return on TN,
Alexei.
