[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The character of my last shot (Sciurus vulgaris: Ninja) in the general opinion is the representative of arts (fighting or scenic, here the opinions of spectators were different). As our site is devoted to the wild nature, I have decided to correct this situation and to share the picture of the squirrel at more natural environment.

In addition to the information placed in my last post note, I want to say that only two kinds of squirrel from genus Scuirus: Sciurus aberti and Sciurus vulgaris, - have brushes on ears (see Sciurus vulgaris (Russian)). It gives a particular charm to them. It is true, is not it?

Hi Alaxei, This is a nice capture of this little squirrel, the details are very good with nice POV. I just wonder if you can have cropped it a little tighter? Maybe I would have composed it in a off centered composition but it is a very nice picture anyway :) Thanks,
Claudine
