Hi Hazel, looks like the critical focus was on the branch at the top right and not on the Squirrel. Which camera are you usning? I don't see a good reason to use 200 iso as you can easily go higher iso and have more speed/DOF which you need in here especially when working HH.

Good suggestions by Ofer. If the squirrel is a regular visitor, you could practise with different ISO and SS combinations until you get critical sharpness on the animal's face. How much did you have to crop?
I cropped only a very small part on the right side. It's almost full frame.
Used Tamron AF 70-300 lens.
I'm posting the original. It is much lighter and seemed flat.
Yes, he and a friend are frequent visitors, so I'll keep practicing. I think I have the comp aspect down ok but need to work a lot on the focus. Thanks for reminding me of that.

Hazel,
Try using a single sensor. Frame a bit loser, use the central sensor and keep it on the head or eye as he moves and fire away at a shutter speed of at least 1/1000 sec.
