Gray Squirrel Gray Squirrel

There is something about the light in this little guy's eye and the slightly out of focus back paw that I find appealing. Maybe it's just me?
I love your gray squirrel gray squirrel ! There's a nice feeling of depth in this shot because the back paw is a bit blurry. The sparkly eye is of course mandatory for closeups. The best part of this shot to me is the composition : I love how the squirrel "squeezes into frame", almost like photobombing. It creates a nice mood to the shot. I hope you'll get to PP with this one, 1st fav granted!

Let me explain the gray squirrel gray squirrel thing. There is a camp song and those are the first words to it. I heard it numerous times a day and now whenever I see a squirrel, that is what I think of. So, there was a reason for my repetitiveness. So if the sparkly eye is mandatory, does that make it part of your mandatory list? Photobombing??? What a great concept. hmmmmmmmm. Thanks so much for the great comments and the fav!
