Salut Jeanpaul,
très bonne composition, j'aime bien cette branche coupée au bon endroit qui donne une sensation aérienne à l'écureuil. Beaux détails de la fourrure aux tons chauds qui contraste avec le reste de l'image plutôt froide. Peut-être que le blanc est un peu trop fort? En tout cas j'admire la patience qu'il t'a certainement falut pour surprendre l'écureuil.
