Harshad,

Nice and sharp on the squirrel and I like that pine cone (?) he is chewing on. However, the head on view with the nose obstructed is just not doing it for me. Also the bright area behind the head is an attention grabber.

Moving left here might have been a strategy move if possible.

Hello Harshad,

+1

But I like the fact that the squirrel is just doing its business, not aware of you (but with a 600mm you were far enough). Nice pov and good exposition. Considering that you took this picture with the 600mm on your shoulder, the result is very good!

How rare is he?

Thanks for sharing!

Agree with Robert Maybe a step to the left would have cleared the light bg areas, it is a good looking squirrel and good behavior !!!
