I accidentally grabbed this shot yesterday. I was out on the deck total some comparison shots with my CPL filter. Suddenly our squirrel... the one that always comes up and looks into the house looking for us to five him a peanut... came up a foot or so from my feet. I grabbed this shot... looking almost straight down. He didn't stay put much at all and I was able to get only this shot.
I am ambivalent about this. Is it a good shot or is it not a good shot. Yes it's sharp... but I got only part of the squirrel. Couldn't compose my shot. I like it and I don't.
What is your assessment.
(As I post this... the exposure on my desktop is a little brighter than it shows up here.)
Thanks
Barry

Here's my take-- the squirrel's shoulders are hunched forward, showing he has just jumped up there. He is looking right at you (he wants he peanut).
To the left is some pink flora and a little tree trash on the deck. It's a natural shot.
Try both and crop and full.
Anyway, he's a nice, sweet little squirrel

Though a squirrel's fluffy tail can be very photogenic, there is no mistaking (for the majority of people in North America) what species this is. Therefore, we don't need ID, we just need something to hold our attention. The clarity (and it's brighter in download), the perspective and my anthropomorphizing (guilty look, caught in the act...or alternatively "if I freeze, he won't see me) make this smile-worthy IMO.

I like your shot. You've got his face and an action of eating food. I agree with the suggestion of a crop on the left as the red color keeps taking my eye away from the squirrel. Bev
