Yum, birdseed...

Caught this grey squirrel eying my bird feeder. Fortunately it's squirrel-proof (yea, right). As always critique and (especially) criticism is welcome. – TF

Nice shot, an interesting pose and good composition.

The squirrel looks ready to jump!

I don't make the bird feeders easy to get to! - TF

I second this – and the background is awesomely blurred. I also like the crisp focus/catchlight on the eye.:thumbsup:

~Try cropping off the top & left, to eliminate the extra space. Then, a little cropping on the right to "balance out".

Thanks. Here's a little off top/left/right. - TF

That's much better, since the squirrel fills-the-frame more and isn't as crowded toward the lower-right corner.

id actually like to see the squirrel framed in the upper right corner looking down in to the picture, this is of course dependent on what would have been in the frame though.
