Wildlife Photo Competition 2 2015 : Entry Number 7

Beautiful colours and a lovely wild mossy habitat for this hungry red squirrel. Lovely sharp shot, well done.

Many thanks for the Mark of Excellence. I took this photo in a park in Stuttgart (Germany) with an EOS 1D Mark IV and the EF300 1/2.8L IS lense at ISO1600, 1/400s, f/2.8. Just some simple (but necesasry) adjustments with Lightroom 5. It is very difficult to captute squirrels on a perfect place with a background like this, because the are very speedy and always hurry up. Ralph Stiller
