Winter is Coming

Beacon Hill Park - Victoria BC

Wild but not really, I noticed this guy during my lunch hour, and could not help myself but to shoot him, certainly not nearly as interesting as Eagles, Bears and the like, but thought I would post him for someone's enjoyment.

Hi John,
Looks like you are having fun with that new camera!
Amazing detail especially on the face and paws.

Disagree with Sandy - the leaves give atmosphere and that fall feeling.

So real to life that I feel as if I could reach out and touch him or her! If I had taken this however, I might tone down the brighter somewhat distracting leaves in the background. Over all a lovely portrait capture of a squirrel! :)
Sincerely,
Sandy

You can see every hair on his head, every whisker. The eyes are alive with light, and the nut almost looks waxed, it's so shiny. The DOF is excellent ... what can I say? I just love it!

You managed a wonderful close-up of this little fellow, with lots of interesting details and great dof.
