There is a bunch of squirrels that live in a tree near to my house and they are quite daring. This one is a nice poser and wasn't afraid of me taking his snaps from close range. Hope you like it

All comments are welcome. Please be critical, I would love to know what I can improve

You're very lucky, my friend, this cute and tiny animal poses for you. Very nice close-up, a bit more depth of field would make this shot superb.

Nice and sharp shot of the squirrel. You got him standing still. The squirrels here are so fast that you have to be lucky to catch them standing still for a moment. I got one some time ago.

Agree with Tanju - a couple steps back and then a zoom-in would have produce more DOF but you are lucky to have a co-operative fellow like this for a good shot.

Well, I'm 4th on the scene, but I agree with the comments above. Compared to the gray squirrels here on the coast of the west US, this one almost looks like a mouse. Really excellent clarity and focus on this posting, Prashanth. All things technical look pretty good. You might consider leaving a little more room at the bottom instead of cropping so close to the little fellah's head. Composition 101, courtesy of Dorothy.

A sweet little friend so well captured. Tanju gave you some good advise to get even a complete sharp tail. But the sharpness on its eyes/head is excellent. Mich

Nice focus. I have so many squirrels that I think I should find out how to make squirrel stew!

This is a great capture, I'm amazed at the length of its tail.

A nice closeup of the squirrel, Prashanth. Good clarity and details in the photo. You should probably look into the DOF advice given above. A cute little fella.

Your squirrels have such a pointed nose compared to the one here in the U.S. Cute little thing though. Very nice shot, P.
