This photo deserves a smiley because of its cuteness factor.
Just like a character out of a fairy or fantasy movie. This one would be the hero saving everybody or something in that direction. It even made me think about the film “ Stuart Little” I watched with my granddaughter, but Staurt Little wasn’t a squirrel he was a mouse.
Thanks for the very informative notes. Really enjoyed it.
Warmest regards

Quite an interesting story about your interaction with this creature, Tabatha. It is possible the squirrel was actually resenting your presence. Maybe it had little babies in a nest and you could be assumed to be a probable threat to their safety.
You have captured the aggressive expression in its eye rather well.
Thanks for sharing your experience and picture and take care.

Hello Tabatha,
This is a nice composition with this cute fellow. I enjoyed reading your story a lot. I believe that one can talk to animal to make them calmer and this a great way to make them pose for you ;) From my experience, if you want to capture this animal with more details possible, I suggest you use a faster shutter speed. I don't remember having taken picture of a squirrel at lower than 1/320 sec. and this was when it was very still. I might suggest also that you use a smaller aperture to make details on its fur stand out a little more :) This is a nice one anyway with great happy mood!

bonjour tabatha
il y a un leger flou mais avec ce genre de sujet tres vif,c'est inevitable surtout avec une vitesse comme ici 1/125eme.
le cadrage est un peu trop serré je pense mais j'aime bien quand même.

I love your story - that happens to me a lot too. Some may call this type of squirrel common, but to me they're always so fun to watch and very very cute to boot! This is a great close-up! What a comical face and mood. Good focus and framing. Great job!! Penny
