This squirrel wasn't very afraid of me, I had to find a branch with leaves and shake it on the ground for him to get concerned and go back up his tree.

Shot with my Tamron 1.4x teleconverter on.

Cute Squirrel a close up of just tail would have been dynamite

The tail could be a bit sharper, apart from that, one of my favourites.

Very nice. Feels like its going to jump out at me, and the lighting adds to that effect.

well done

Too cute! These little critters can move fast and you have an excellent capture here with all 4 paws out, the straight on angle of his face, and the bushy tail off to the side. I wish it were a tad more focused in the details or perhaps the color was a bit less flat. Adorable!

Cute guy. Wish you could have had a bit deeper depth of field to get him in sharper focus. Still I love his attitude and big bushy tail.

Nice take. Would have liked a less central composition and a better white balance and contrast, but it's nice.

This would of been a great shot if it was sharper. It might just need a little more USM in photoshop. 6.

Great shot!

Nice capture - good composition, great lighting. In my opinion, would be stronger with deeper depth of field that allowed face, body and tail to be in focus.
