The squirrel specialists strikes again. And, I believe this is your best. The title fits. the colors of the squirrel are beautiful and rich not to mention sharp. Love this composition.

Adorable! Perfect title. What a great shot! Love the crisp clear colors and detail. Looks like he actully posed for you. Are you bribing him with gourmet nuts?

NIce shot. A Perfect squirrel pose. He looks like Squirrel Nutkin (Beatrice Potter).
I like the tail halo effect around the body.

This picture definitely needs a butterfly though! :)

"My, little squirrel, what big eyes you have!" I love how you managed to get the shot at his eye level. He has that "Go ahead Punk, make my day," vibe about him -- with claws clutching his dinner so tight. I also like how his tail forms a sort of headdress around him, like you'd see a mighty native american chief wearing. Very nice picture, thanks for posting it!

I have adored squirrels since I was a little girl and you are a master at capturing them Robert! This is first rate all the way and I love the angle you managed here. Superb and a 10 from me! Bravo!

I am still extremely busy with projects but hopefully things should slow down by the end of the summer. Please know that I appreciate you all and will stop by and visit your images as often as I can. My best to all my friends. Sincerely, Carrie

Cute, he looks like he's seriously thinking of trying to bullseye you with the shell. I dream of owning an SLR and having some long lenses again, perhaps next year...

No Sig, Just, I want to say "Thank You" to all of the talented photographers for giving me the most beautiful desktops and screensavers I could ever imagine. The artistry here is breathtaking.
