[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
For Claudine- who takes some of the best squirrel photos. This one was in a park gathering up winter food. Technically, this one was difficult as he wouldn't pose in the right light and the colors came out a bit distracting. I converted to B&W, added some contrast, sharpened and framed.

ANY WORKSHOPS ARE WELCOME !!

As a side note: Squirrels make interesting wildlife neighbours and can often be attracted to your landscape with minimal effort. Attracting squirrels by feeding them, however, is not recommended. If you start feeding a squirrel each day, word soon gets around the squirrel world that there is a new food source and within a week or two you have six or more squirrels coming to your house to be fed.

Can't say I like squirrels - they are just rats with good PR! This is however a very good portrait of one and I think the B&W really suits the image. Perfect composition and great details. Well done!
