since i saw a few squirrels on the site yesterday, i thought i'd give it a try. it was taken in late afternoon.

I like it Mike Always go for best available and the squirrel was in range !!!

Did very well with exposure and sharpness, no problem there. Would crop a little different keeping the little guy from the middle of the frame. I like the overall feel !!! btw remember you can focus, lock focus and recompose in camera !!! Best way to move the main object out of the center !!!

Quite nice Mike! I like the muted tones and feel, 'very squirrel'.

[Gus Cobos]

Good color rendition and sharp details Mike...agree with Mr. Forns on the techs. looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Gus, i want to thank you because you are a true "painter of light". that is the award i always want.
Alfred, thanks for all "day to day" advise and counsel. it was you that always gave me a second chance to succeed or to fail and learn.
