He/she is a beauty - whole shot has captured some lovely colors and details. This is a real "in your face". Sure am glad you shot him/her with a camera - and not with something else. Jan

A cute little fellow, Mary! Well worth the wait.
Looks like what we'd call a 'red squirrell' ~ sadly virtually wiped out by the greys.
Kind regards,Chris

Nice capture. I think the image is too soft and has distracting background. Use of loger focal lenght lens and a wider aperture would have produces a much more aesthetically appealing result. May be something like this. Overall the photo is very nice to look at.
Kind regards.

Hi Mary,
It appears M. Zafar Rabbani liked your photograph more than his comment leads one to believe. I just saw it on the main Usefile page with his name as credit!!! So much for copyrights! Regardless, I think it's a great shot and I KNOW who photographer REALLY is! Keep up the great work.

Hi Shane, it seems there was a mistake made. M. Zafar Rabbani's comment was chosen as the Featured Critique so a couple of his photos are diplayed under his name. As he had only one picture in his portfolio thus far, I think this one got picked up as coming from him--his computer. He did email me as soon as he saw it on the Main Page.

Hi Mary,
I emailed Usefilm admin yesterday so they could correct it. I noticed after posting you that it wasn't in his portfolio so I then realized what had happened. Sorry for the alarm but I was concerend for your credit. I should have reposted sooner but the correction didn't happen until about 1hrs ago.

M. Zafar, thank you for sending me this note. I suspect my picture got posted there as you have only one photo in your portfolio (and a beauty, it is)and usually two are posted with the Featured Critique. I guess mine got picked up as coming from your computer.

Hi Shane. Thank you for your concern. I really appreciate it.
I also emailed UF yesterday to ask that the mistake be corrected. Now that M. Zafar Rabbani has posted another picture, it is two of his on the Main Page. They are good ones, too.

A magnificent capture, an excellent squirrel!
Also the composition is very particular.
I see a light out-of-focousing, maybe is the digital zoom he, with a light unsharp musk the problem is partly resolved.
Here, I would have enlivened a little the subject , putting the tail in the corner.
I like it! Is a great catch..
best reagrds, See you later, roby

Lovely - very cute too, I see you have had much advice and /todo on this image! Glad everything got sorted out, it is nice that people look out for one another. Because these things do happen - SOmeone who joined the site - I did an amendment to brighten/sharpen etc, - they then took off theirs, and posted my version as their own - saying - thought it would look better if I did a bit of PS work to it etc. Grrrhhhh

Wow -- you could publish a book on all the comments on this pic! But I will still add my 2 cents -- I think he looks like he has little boxing gloves on and a pugnacious stance poised to take sunflower seed by force if he has to. I can just see him flicking that pretty tail impatiently and discussing your intrusion with himself . . . . ;) Well caught!

Lovely, dear Mary. He does look at you with questioning eyes. If you go a few pages back in my portfolio you'll see that in the winter of 1966-7 I spent a few months among the Kurds in north-west Iraq. At that time it was very secret, now at least two books have been written about our halp to the Kurds. At that time I had a squirrel as a pet.
Thank you for your very kind comments on my "Tami and Koshka", "Black devil" and "Writing a ticket." It wasn't my car either. My car is blue, like yours.
Best regards,
Rafi

Hi Paul. Thanks for all the great comments. I really appreciate them. My camera is a Kodak DX 7440--4 mega--4x optical zoom.
I used the auto setting as for now, my camera is smarter than me in terms of choosing the right ones. The f5.6, ISO 140,and 1/8 shutter speed were the ones I copied from the camera information after taking the shot. I did wait for a while for this little guy to come around again while I was standing there. I was just under his branch.
