Taken with the kit lens, in RAW. Set the white balance to shade in post-processing (original had a blue cast), and sharpened a little in PS7.

Thanks for the kind comments. Squirrels are not particularly common in Dublin, so these guys in the Botanic Gardens are used to kids coming to visit especially to see them and offer them peanuts. So it's not that difficult to get close once they trust you - they come running to you ! Apparently there are red squirrels there too, but I have yet to spot one.

How did you get so close ... amazing.

(At the risk of my other post being deleted as I was logged in as 300d group., here it is again)...This is a terrific image! I'm surprised this squirrel let you get within 18 inches of him!!

Gee, if you were any closer he could have bit your nose. LOL Excellent sharpness. He is a cute little guy. I wish I had some in my yard.
