 Took this picture on the campus of MSU. He has a nut in his mouth which I find hilarious as I didn't notice it until someone else pointed it out.

Look like a very tight crop. The noise and soft focus is distracting.

Running away to hide his treasure. Nice prespective.

Fuzzy some.

Aptly titled.

Great angle but needs to be sharper.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A little grainy but a good shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 03:01:01 PM
focus is a bit off
 03/15/2009 12:06:01 PM
Cute, but a bit grainy and fuzzy.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 11:14:26 AM
A nice effort. A bit too much noise and out of focus
 03/15/2009 08:00:38 AM
Cool catch. Pretty fuzzy, though, like it's cropped way down. You have a hot pixel just in front of his leg that you might watch out for.
 03/15/2009 06:48:12 AM
:D looks funny though

but the quality isnt as good you know...


thx, brano

Cute squirrel with nice soft colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 01:49:04 AM
this is a difficult capture , with such a fast moving creature, the colors and the background are not too appealing though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 10:23:40 PM
tad OOF to me
 03/14/2009 09:30:47 PM
Aren't we all? Clever!

Ahh, Nuts!

A bit soft but a fun capture just the same.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 04:00:10 PM
It always amazes me how easily they scamper up and down trees and across telephone wires. Very cute but a bit blurred.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 04:00:37 AM
Cheeky little critter
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 12:39:28 AM
Nice squirrel, but is a bit noisy.
 03/13/2009 11:05:24 PM
Cool photo, sorry someone else did the same thing. I love you!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:59:19 PM
the squirrel and the background are well distinguished. The image seems in focus, though the shot seems very grainy. If you used digital zoom on this image, I strongly recommend against it, it tends to make pictures not as good. Good pose captured, though :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:23:35 PM
Looks like you have heavily cropped the original photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 04:23:15 PM
I have to agree, a funny fellow. A couple of things let you down: focus, noise, composition (limbs are cut off, squirrel leads right out of the picture)
 03/13/2009 04:18:37 PM
That little guy is nuts!!!! (sorry... I couldnt resist).
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:14:34 PM
Nice capture, good composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:07:17 PM
Seems he/she already got it. Nice action shot. Some would probably say it isn't sharp, or too much noise, but that doesn't bother me in this picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:00:16 PM
Really noisy... like a big crop had to happen. But the composition is good.

Not voting yet.

this is an awesome shot. the composition is great and the subject makes me smile. i really like how the leaves look in the background. it seems just a tad grainy to me, and could possibly benefit from a little more contrast, but that's just nit picking.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:45:07 PM
Cute guy! I know they are not that easy to capture. The picture seems a little grainy and a little flat though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:42:37 PM
Nice closeup! 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:26:42 PM
Great capture. It looks really soft and noisy, though. If I had to guess I'd say this is cropped massively from the original.
 03/13/2009 12:50:39 PM
to grainy
 03/13/2009 12:44:41 PM
Image is quite noisy and squirrel doesn't feel that in focus. Composition works rather well though.
 03/13/2009 12:17:07 PM
Cute little guy. You really got in nice and close.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:28:38 AM
seems a little noisy
 03/13/2009 04:09:50 AM
squirrels are nutty!

Great timing and composure. It looks like you were only limited by your equipment.
 03/12/2009 10:24:57 PM
Great capture, but I think there is too much negative space on the left, pulls my eyes that way.
 03/12/2009 09:21:07 PM
too noisy, maybe upsized too much?
 03/12/2009 07:46:39 PM
To noisy and flat in colors but the subject is darling.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:29:32 PM
Sharpness and contrast could use a little work, but I like the composition and DOF a lot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:23:13 PM
OOF is distracting from the subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:38:35 PM
nice shot.

 03/12/2009 01:32:46 PM
nice catch, a bit noisy.

Good focus, nice DOF, it really helps bring out this little creature.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:27:41 PM
a little noisy and soft, would like to see more of the squirrel.

a bit too noisy to score high, but a fun catch of a squirrel.
