Was walking to my car at work today, and this little bugger jumped up on the fence just 4 meters in front of me. Luckily I had the camera in the car, and a quick change to the 150mm later, I chased him down an got 2 minutes of playtime.

Wow, beautiful capture...his colours are striking, here in the UK the squirrels are grey (speckled).
Thankyou for sharing

That's a bushy tailed little chappy. As Em said, nice to see a red squirrel. A little dark for my screen though.

These guys don't stay still long so catching this pose is very impressive. The background is also very good. The only suggestion for improvement I could make would be to brighten the subject. Glad you shared this moment of good fortune.

What a beautiful and unusual colored squirrel. Some suggestions: I would crop this picture down some more. I would also lighten up just the squirrel. He/she is a little dark. Otherwise...pretty good.

I agree, very unusual coloring on the squirrel, great capture, composition and color.

@Pat, 537, JEF: must be my screen that is a little brighter than yours, because the brightness it good here - feel free to download and play with the colours/brightness/contrast

I do mostly in nature shots, but like "experimental" manipulation as well. Drop by some time.
