[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo is taken in the Botanical Garden in Rio de Janeiro. It was the first day I visited Brazil.

There are a lot of Squirrel species in Brazil. I’ve searched on the internet trying to find what species this is. But it’s very difficult. You have to be an expert. But I think this is a Brazilian Squirrel.
It’s nice to see a tooth while it’s eating.

The Brazilian Squirrel or Guianan Squirrel, Sciurus aestuans, is a squirrel species from South America. It is found in Brazil, Guiana, French Guiana, Suriname and Venezuela.
It is a dark brown squirrel that feeds mainly on fruits and nuts, but can also prey on eggs and the young of birds.

Hi Peter.
I cannot imagine more beautiful pose of this wonderful squirrel. It is simply great as well as the great is skill of its reproduction. Terrific reflection of the hair, crisp sharpness of all details f the animal, amazing exact colour palette. POV and framing are excellent too. I also like precise DOF. BG is detailed fairly. Bravo and best wishes.

Peter;
I noticed this yesterday and just now felt compelled to come back to it. This is a remarkable eye catcher. For some sort of product or group of some such in which it could be that same draw for the purpose of the group or whatnot..It has very appealing qualities..hours...

Hi Peter, this is a very nice and unusual shot of teh Brazilian Squirrel. I love the pose and he seems to be balancing very well on the branch. The shot is very sharp with good colour and great light throughout. Perfect dof and nice soft background. Very well composed.

Hallo Peter
Although this is not your latest posting, I would like to leave my smiley at it today.
Very good close up with clear and fine quality details of this squirrel. Such a lovely scene of the squirrel with its hands in its mouth and yes I agree it is nice to see its teeth while eating. It actually looks quite funny. I just love the big eyes, the long whiskers, the tiny ears and of course that thick bushy tail. A unique photo. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna
