Hi Beverley,

Very cute picture of Grey Squirrel. They are extremely greedy and will not stop until all food is theirs. I did have to stop birds this winter as they destroyed my feeders several times. Very nice composition, sharp details and beautiful colours.

Hi Bev,

Great shot of this squirrel coming down the tree. I love the way his head pokes thru the frame. How did you do that? Wonderful details and textures, nice natural colors and a superb composition. I love seeing squirrels because, believe it or not, we don't have them here.

hello Beverley

it is a very beautiful close-shot of the Grey Squirrel, with fine
POV and DOF, great sharpness and details of the foreground,
for the framing i would say i would give more space at the
bottom of the image, but the way you did a montage by giving
a frame to the image and giving effect that the squirrel
want to come out from the image, i will say i love the framing,

Very nice Bev. I think there is always room for creativity in nature don't you? the framing to me is very nice and of course in computerized cameras....as natural as it gets...Fine image..You add to the largest of the four leggers posted...as did I a couple of times or 3...maybe 4:-)

Hello Bev,
Your framing is the main attraction of this wonderful composition! you had made this cute fellow nearly out of the composition to look for more food!
a brilliant idea!
the image is sharp with good colour and details
a very pleasing presentation
best regards

Hi Beverly,
That's a very interesting composition you have here.
I like the way you got the framing making it look quite 3D like.Nice pose, wuith the little one looking quite inquisitive..

Squirrels for us r a feature all around the year since it doesnt snow. They are seen running around whereever there are trees and plants.

TFS & cheers

Hi Beverley,
a nice and fine shot of the squirrel, good sharpness and fine details.
It look funny when it look out of the frame, I did a similar
for a swan for a long time ago, here but I like yours better.
Well done.

Hi Beverly,
Cute shot. I like the way you've have the squirrel exiting my monitor..But you can keep em' there. I have too many here myself right now.
I feed them too well :)
Well done,
Howard

Hi Beverley.
What a nice shot of a very cute animal and fine scene. I also like funny and charming framing and presentation of the shot. Bravo. All is perfect, and great details of the main subject, nice perfectly exposed smooth BG, interesting cropping of the image. My compliments and TFS.

Good evening, Beverley!

You are right, they ar cute, and certainly not vermin! It's incredible: as soon as "something" doesn't suit our way to live and to "progress", it's vermin...

I like your simple and so pleasant picture very much. You also have given it an original frame. The composition with the squirrel looking downwards is original, too.

I also would like to thank you for very encouraging words on my cloudy posting.

:-)

Kind regards

Markus
