I had recently an image of an Eastern Gray Squirrel here on the blog but can you really blame me if I like to show you a couple more if they were shot in really great light? Snow is in general a nice reflector to get some light underneath a critter but if the sun is out it gets even better and the colors come out in a much better way. Some pixel peepers may say, but wouldn’t it be better to color correct the snow so it doesn’t look so bluish? I’m a big a fan of leaving it just the way it is. The blue is the reflection of the sky and there is no other color that tells the story about cold temperatures better than blue.

The first squirrel is just amazing. It’s like he posed for you.
Nice work.
Thank you Dave! We have very many of them here, robbing the bird feeders like crazy, but they don’t present themselves always like this. I still like the second picture better because of its composition and the more natural gesture of the squirrel.
