A Red Squirrel I photographed at a feeder yesterday during the early stages of the 15-inch snowfall we received. Spring? What Spring!? :) I like the way he is using his tail as an umbrella. 40D, 500 f/4, 1/160, f/8, ISO 400. I used quick mask to remove some distracting elements and cropped for composition. The left side is the frame edge. Comments are welcome.

Good job. Very appealing. Effective depth of field and great pose. It really conveys the feeling of cold.

All of it is very good......sorry about the snow.......but then it wouldn't be such a cool picture. Spring is definitely in the air in NJ,

I like the eye contact, snow and water drops on the whiskers and the paws under the chin. Well done.
