One of the many squirrels we've fed a morning breakfast to over the years...and a rework of an old favorite of mine. (I love the pen and ink look of Albrecht Durer's sketches - particularly his "Young Hare" and this was the look I was going for)

Cool high key on this one Val. They can be quite friendly when you feed them on a regular basis. We used to have chipmunks that came for peanuts each day. They would take them from our pockets and toes! #9612033Gina Cormier August 18, 2011

Fantastic tone and details, Val. Beautiful image. #9612412Val Feldman August 18, 2011
Thanks everyone for your comments. I so enjoyed "doing up" this favorite of mine and glad you all liked it. And nope, Ms, T - this is not JD...this was taken a long while back - 2008 - but betcha it could have very well been JD's Momma - they look very similar! I'll pass on your well wishes to JD but really, she's more interested in the walnuts in my hand than anything I have to say! LOL!!! #9612434Reynaldo D. Reyes August 18, 2011

WOW, and WOW again, Val! I do believe this is the very best squirrel capture I have seen to date! Incredible close-up of her, marvelous composition and the detail and clarity is superb. But what makes this so very special is the DD work and processing I am not familiar with Albrecht Durer's sketches but I know the look and this is masterful! Wonder SEP conversion and use of filters. Sure to be a Winner! HUGE CONGRATULATIONS! P.S. Sorry haven't been around to visit lately; hopefully next month will be less busy. #9693372Bojan Bencic September 25, 2011
