    Hi Jon ... the Squirrel himself looks very nice in detail / tone and color ( apart from the blue/cyan creeping through , IMHO )
    Pose is nice and classical , just miss the tail for perfection .
    Nicely isolated from the BG , which I quite like as the BG is not too uniform .
    The large log in front is a bit unfortunate .

    TFS Andreas

    Thanks Andreas, I agree with your comments. I can't remember if i did address the blues in this one I certainly did in some previous.

    My exact thoughts Jon, the tree stump is a bit ugly and acorns, not peanuts!!!

    Steve the peanuts were hazelnuts I was taken there by a chap who feeds them daily. Let me know if you want to visit - no charge unlike Yorkshire!! A veteran soldier looks after the squirrels with the blessing of the Local Nature Reserve. He will be revising the set up to include a squirrel leap.

    Good evening Jon,

    Such a cutie, love those ear tufts!

    Good techs, well taken and framed, albeit the log is a bit too much, and there's a bit of a cyan cast (reflection from the environment?)

    Thank you so much for sharing, overall a sweet image and I like the pose, don't know what she is eating but I bet she is enjoying it tremendously

    Warmest regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Jon -- Very nicely done, loved the IQ and the pose. There is slight cyan cast in the belly which can be easily fixed. Agree with the log situation .

    But still enjoyed viewing it.

    TFS !
