Hi Francine,
another one with huge amounts of character again. You seem to be able to give all your animals photo's some sort of personality, an invaluable part of any wildlife shot that is often missing from alot of the shots i see here...but then i'm no expert :o)
Really like your pose here, the lighting is great and the setting in the tree (where else??) perfect.
A lovely posting, thanks for sharing...oh, good notes too!

Hello Francine
I cant make my mind up if he is scratching or about to roll off the branch backwards!!..or if indeed a combination of the both!!
Either way it is a stunning picture with superb focus and light..And dare it be said..I think he is shaking the dust off of treknature and having a laugh at us all!!
Superb Post Francine and a superb Note
All the Best

Hallo Francine
Looking at the thumbnail I could not make out what on earth is the photo all about. Only opening it to a bigger size, I saw this hilarious scene with this cute squirrel. This is indeed a very funny shot with lots of clear details to it. This guy is really enjoying himself. Just look at the open mouth, with the teeth showing. I like the position you have managed to photograph this squirrel in. The big eyes, the long whiskers, and that long, thick tail are all details one can see very clearly. Good focus, lovely close-up. Very appealing presentation.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Hi Nina, Fun shot of this itchy squirrel. Looks like he's really working hard to get at it. :-) Good detail and exposure in what looks like difficult light. Super pose.

Ah tiens, voilà le Gugusse ! Et il se gratte, c'est peut-être des puces oui mais peut-être autre chose ! :-) Bravo pour cette belle photo qui fait sourire ! Merci,

Bonjour Francine,

Une photo très amusante, ainsi que la note qui l'accompagne. Un instant bien saisi, cadré et exposé! Dommage que la lumière ne soit pas entièrement au rendez-vous, mais on n'a pas toujours le choix! Merci,

Bonjour Francine,

Il semble un peu en désarroi ce petit écureuil, j'aime bien son expression et cette petite dent au centre lui donne du caractère. Une pose très originale et malgré la vitesse à laquelle il se grattait, on peut apprécier un bon focus.

Hello Francine,
What a catch of this trusting Gugusse laying on its back in front of you. Normally a trusting squirrel will turn its back on you, but this, unbelievable. It has to be a stitch from another image, not really, just snickering at the little fellow, really enjoying the scratch...
Great shot...

Hi Francine

Hahaha...what a funny pose! The look on its face is worth millions :))
Very good shot and impeccable timing from you here!
I also like the way you handled the not easy at all exposure as well as the sharpness you managed to get in these light conditions.
Very nice presentation, too.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Francine,

Another great posting, I haven't heard of a Gugusse, but it looks like a cross between a squirrel and a chipmonk! Great capture, with a good pose and nice broken light giving the shot additional interest. Keep up the great work.

Hola Francine, primero quiero agradecete tus amables comentarios. He tardado en contestar ya que estaba de viaje.
Tu fotografía muy interesante por lo inusual de la pose de la ardilla y la luz :-) que entrañaba bastante dificultad para la captura que aún así lograste controlar bien.
Un abrazo: J. Ignasi

When it comes to itches you gotta do what you gotta do. This is very funny. I actually laughed out loud when I saw it. Great light, composition and most importantly, timing.

Bonsoir Francine,

Une belle image de cet écureuil roux qui se gratte sur la branche du pommier. Une pose que je trouve inhabituelle. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleur de l'animal. Le sujet est bien cadré. Bonne soirée.
