Support DOF looks a little shallow to get the tail and back side, but the subject is likely not an enthusiastic model so it's a great capture.

Weak oppose. Quality is not great. I don't quite see the enc value of this image. Little of the subject is in focus and the setting doesn't thrill me either. --

Oppose. Shallow depth-of-field, and the poor quality (not sure if it's due to noise or compression) is visible even at 1000px, the bare mininum. NauticaShades01:20, 26 August 2008 (UTC)reply
Comment Surely its quality must be good enough to be an FP and #3 in the POTY? I'm not saying its has much EV, but I think that you are focusing too much on the quality of this image. We already know ti has good quality, now what about EV? --Lord₪Sunday16:52, 26 August 2008 (UTC)reply
No, we do not know that it has good quality. POTY is not about quality, POTY attracts lots of users who have little photographic experience and judge based on wow and cuteness. --

Support - I just stumbled upon the picture when I was reading about the red squirrel and would have nominated it myself for the reasons above if it hadn't already been nominated. --

Comment Though I can't bring myself support (quality is not so great), the comments about the surroundings are puzzling to me. Many squirrels live in parks and other urban environments. (Could it be true that most squirrels do these days?) A built environment is now the habitat of many many squirrels, and it makes little sense to hide this fact in our images.

Yeeeah. I know that many squirrels are in urban environments, but I'm still iffy on it. :\ Plus it's not the only reason for my opposition.

Weak support a touch-up would be nice, but a caption on the mainpage about the red squirrel (plus a terribly cute pic) is a good thing in my mind.
