    Hi Jose - I like the pose and the BG, You have sharp details (looks a bit too sharp on my screen) - he is certainly checking you out :)
    Looks like the light was quite soft, which has helped. His tail is cut off on the LHS - more room required so that you can fit all of his tail in - as it stands it looks like you have UNINTENTIONALLY cut it off - generally if you are including something in your photo - its best to include it ALL.

    Looking forward to your next one :)

    Thanks Lance. I agree about the tail issue and the bit of sharpness excess. It was a "siroco" day, wich means that tons of sahara sand were in the atmosphere. That´s the reason for the soft ligt. Thanks for your comments :-)

    Jose, I enjoy seeing your squirrels! Agree with Lance on the techs. It can be a trial to get them all in the frame at times, especially when they are all in the frame then flip their tail out of the frame.
    Really like the eye contact, look forward to more!

    Cute little bugger with a great BKGR. Surely over sharpened. I would like to see a bit more room all around. With the tail clipped, a healthy crop off the left might be in order..... Cut don't clip.

    Hi Jose,
    Very good advise given...the things that catch my attention as soon as I opened the image, was the over sharpening and the cut tail...correct these, and you got yourself a keeper...:cool:
