Another shot from the Finland taiga, I waited and waited, I wanted that raised paw, she did it for me twice, head angle not perfect but it will do.
All C&C welcome

Works for me Jon, tried to keep the tech stuff to a minimum too.

A fine image Jon, love the pose with that raised paw and the bushy tail. Nice separation of the subject from the BG. Great colours too.

Nice colours on this one Jon, albeit they look a lot more red than our. There is possibly a bit of magenta coming through in the whites though.

Unconventional pose but its good to see something different,

Yes I did - how was this apparent to you?

Hi Jon - A fun image and looks good at this size for the high ISO. Only thing that I find a bit distracting is the space between the squirrel's body and the trunk of the tree. Maybe reduce the blue there to more of the gray below it.

Hawk eye!! Quite right Rachel, there was a bright blue bird feeder there, the trouble was when making a mask I could not get the smart radius ideal, I ran out of patience to be honest because I had done a lot of processing for an article I had been writing. (Poor excuse I know, so serves me right!)

I really like this Jon, very different, nice techs too.

Pose is superb. Love the raised paw, subject very alert and that surprised look is priceless:)

Well seen and captured, thank you so much for sharing:w3
