[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The North American red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) is one of two species of tree squirrel currently classified in the genus Tamiasciurus and known as pine squirrels (the other is the Douglas squirrel, T. douglasii). It is a medium sized (200–250g) diurnal mammal that defends a year-round exclusive territory. The diet of these tree squirrels is specialized on the seeds of conifer cones. As such, they are widely distributed across North America wherever conifers are common, except on the Pacific coasts where they are replaced by Douglas squirrels. Recently red squirrels have been expanding their range to include primarily hardwood areas (Goheen et al. 2003)

Hi Mircea,
Wonderful shot of the red squirrel. Perfect natural lighting and a great blurry BG. Lovely colours and sharpness. I like its pluffy tail and its pose with its right leg up. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hi Mircea, nice shot.The focus and sharpness are great. Lovely pose and good exposure and composition. You seem to have done some PP work to the BG and as a result some artifacts remain which I find a little uneasy on my eye.

a great photo !

Hola Mircea,
bella captura y magnífico pov,
iluminación y excelentes colores y bg.
buen trabajo,
saludos

Hi Mircea,
Nice shot of the squirrel, it is clear and sharp but your background work is a little distracting from the main subject. My eye is drawn to look around the outside of the squirrel and not the squirrel itself. It looks like you put alot of effort into changing the background and it is a good try. Still a nice picture,
Regards

Hi Mircea

Fabulous shot of the Squirrel, nicely composed shot and I really like the pose and POV, nice sharp detail and excellent colours too especially the bright red bushy tail.

TFS Hilary :o)

Hi Mircea,
Great composition. Wonderful background; goes very well with the subject.
The Squirrel's pose is music too.
The DOF works very well. Perching is also a plus.
So...congrats on this gem.

Frumoasa fotografie, pozitia subiectului e inedita iar fundalul e ireal. Foarte bune culorile si lumina. Focalizarea pe capul veveritei e perfecta iar suportul pe care sta are textura si culorile imprumutate parca din blana veveritei. Bravo din nou. E super. Numai bine, Cezar.

PS. Multumesc pentru colaj.

Salut Mircea si scuze de intarziere

Pur si simplu excelenta poza!!!
Pozitia in care ai capturat aceasta veverita simpatice e exceptionala! Detaliile si culorile de pe blana ei sunt de asemenea superbe iar "catch-light"-ul din ochi aceeia negri e cireasa de pe tort :)
O singura dilema am: BG-ul e natural?
Oricum, o compozitie exceptionala!

Bravo si TFS

This is a perfect photo of this red squirrel, I'm really enjoying browsing through your photos. I am looking into buying the Sigma 70-300mm lens and by looking at your photos it seems that the lens is well worth it! Well composed shot, you've captured some character in it! Very sharp too,
TFS
