This is very cute. Sharp and nice color. I would just maybe frame it a bit different. Do you have an uncropped image?

Squirrel: Yes, I have the original and one shot at a shorter focal length. Here they are. I would appreciate knowing how you would reframe. Thank you.

Hi,

Great Pics Mandrake, I looked at the two framing pics and have come to the conclusion they are both really good and, even though I am an amateur at this I would like to give two reasons why I think this way.
1. The frame done by Mandrake with that almost closeup feature I believe appeals to young people approximately up to about 7 or 8 years old, and
2. The frame done by Oksana (I presume) appeals to higher age groups and is excellent for Nature manuals, books etc.

To come to this conclusion i tested them on my 7 Grandkids and their parents who, percentage wise, agreed with me. The really young ones loved the big picture of the Squirrel as it gave them a feeling of hugeness and a cuddly feel is a good way of putting it.

Please note that I am NOT being a critic or critiqeing other people’s work just making observations that may not have occurred to others. I actually like all the pics you have shown us..

Happy Snapping ppls

Hello Ian…. Thank you so much for your interest. Please understand that the last two photos of the squirrel are uncropped shots that I have posted to show how I did the framing. It is the middle photo that I chose to use and the top picture is the end result after some minor cropping and PSE enhancement.

Oksana had commented that she might have framed the photo a bit differently. I therefore posted the uncropped original and a second photo that I had taken at the same time with a shorter focal length. I did this so that she would know what it was that I had to work with. So far, she has not suggested any changes.

Have fun with your grandchildren. I have three and there is always something new we can learn from them.
