Came across this scene down the street from my house;

from 20 feet away

after approaching to about 10 feet

And that was about as close as I dared to get. Those talons looked mighty sharp!

The look on him in the second shot says "keep away, this tree rat is all mine!"

Great captures. :thumb

Great captures Fred :thumb

I think a bit less exposure could give it more detail.

Thanks for sharing.

the second shot for me....... but both are good, could do with a little less exposure or a fix in levels or curves

Be still my foolish heart, Does it get any better than this?

This is one of the best squirrel pics I have ever seen. :rofl The hawk ain't bad either. :thumb

I would also take the exposure down a notch and not center the shots so much.
