 Another squirrel shot, sorry but he's cute. Taken with my EF 75-300mm f4.5-5.6 IS USM at 300mm.
Heavily cropped, levels, msoo-triple sharpened, resized, USM and that is it.
Early shot from my new EOS-20D, shot as a .jpg, as there was no RAW capability for PS CS then. Can't wait for Capture One to provide RAW too. . . .

Cute capture, nice light. Just a bit washed out and softly focused. Nice composition.

Cute!
Focus on squirrel seems a bit soft. Maybe zoom in on him a bit for less clutter.

Very cute; love how you caught him with his snack! I am scoring it in the middle due to soft focus and somewhat bland composition.

Sweet, I hope the mushroom is not poisened. But I think they are smart enough to know what to eat and what not.

Nice composition with the plants. A little OOF, but a nice capture.

Good capture with nice lighting. It just needed to be a little sharper around the eye.

Good shot and good composition. I like how the grass frames your subject and it is not too distracting. The image seems slightly out of focus, and that might have been helped by an application of Unsharp Mask in Photoshop...one last piece of criticism, one of the stems of the plant behind the squirrel seems to be growing out of his head! Cloning that out would help make that a little bit less distracting :)
