Here's another Red squirrel, the colouration is very different to the previous post. This darker race is more typical of the mainland Europe population. I think squirrels were introduced for Holland and Germany to boost the gene pool.

Hi Jon .... lovely " I got you " head turn of the Squirrel .
Overall processing looks good , just check the blue/cyan in the fur .
Will never become a friend of the boxy format ... but you like it , so I have to accept what you are offering . Subject does sit too central for my taste .
Other than that nice one , and I hope you like shooting these little critters .
As far as I know ..... the Eurasian Squirrel is very " flexible " in coloration and not a question of introduction from mainland . As there is not " British Squirrel " .... just a Eurasian .
Very nice capture dear Jon, love the pose and the way the subject makes eye contact - great timing!
I too noticed the slight cyan cast in the coat, it's not too much, easy fix for you. Also, would have liked a bit more space in front of the squirrel.
Overall a well processed image and background looks good, I particularly like the 'wet' look of this little one and of course the behavioural aspect (subject foraging on the ground).
