i just knew there was a backlit squirrel somewhere and it probably was in your yard.(smile)
I keep looking at the image and wonder if it should be cropped into a horizontal by cutting it immediately above the tail. I like the overall squirrel better that way, but a tailless squirrel doesn't really make it. Too bad the tail wasn't over it's back where it is supposed to be. Does this guy look like he has the summer doldrums???
Seriously -- it is a great image. Love the light coming through the ears, and through the hairs on the back.
Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Gail, LOL have quite a few BL sq images just going for recent. Squirrels often let their tails hang when they are relaxed so the position looks quite natural to me.
Harold ......... a squirrel is nothing but a rat with sex appeal !!!! :)
Love the pose Nonda and the framing is just right for me !!! Would have liked some fill flash Does seem to help in these type that you want detail !!! Big Congrats !!!
Gus they move around, don't stay in our yard all the time, but most are here everyday for a bit. Course with the two big oaks, two big walnut trees and the neighbors hickory trees they are pretty much good to go food wise.:) They do have a feeding station and we put out food twice a day, not much, but they enjoy the snacks I guess.
Nonda, your repost does seem to be better, although I don't find the original particularly dark. I think Harold's attempt is a tiny little bit too bright. Sorry Harold :)
