Hello Everyone,

I have never before had such a close-up of a wild squirrel! This one ran across the grass and scampered up a tree to avoid any danger from us, but then proceeded to stare at us inquisitively!

I quickly changed to my telephoto lens to get this shot!

The squirrel had been busy burying conkers when first interupted, a very important occupation at this time of year as their hidden food stores sustain them during the harsh winter months. The uneaten seeds have been well planted, ready for growth in the spring!

Many thanks for stopping by.
Please feel free to feedback on any aspect of the photograph, Bev :-)

Shot in RAW converted in PSE6.
pp cropped, adj levels, removed some b/g noise with blur tool, added borders, signed, sharpened

Hi Beverley,

Very detailed image and a nice pose of the rodent.
Very natural colors!
A little bit noisy but I understand that you cropped the original.
Good work and finely enclosed in this elegant frame.

An extraordinary shot I should be proud to have done,Beverley.I like all of it and you photographed it at the best moment with perfect adjustments.
Funny the dry little leaf on its nose and realistic the signs of a hard fight on its right ear.Really nice.
