Rim-Lit Red.

During the winter months in Scotland, when the sun remains low in the sky, it can cast shards of light through a woodland, lighting parts up, leaving the rest in shade.

Here I used such light, and exposed for it (not the overall scene as my eyes were seeing it) to get this effect, showing just the illuminated rim of the squirrel's fur, and nothing much else.

Thanks for all the fantastic comments, likes and boosts on my images. Very humbling. 😊

Your debut album cover from 1985 @psychicsquirrel? πŸ€”πŸ™‚

@aseking @petewalkden

Yeah that was the cover for Bitter Almond.

@psychicsquirrel @petewalkden

An unsung classic, if ever there was one. 😏

@petewalkden wow what a photo! My mum has regular red squirrel visitors in her garden. I once Had to pick up an injured one & I was amazed at how small they are that tail is all fluff - which your image captures perfectly.
@petewalkden Love this! It looks like a squirrel eclipse
@petewalkden Beautiful silhouette πŸ’š

@petewalkden

This one is a Bee-A-You-Tee-Ous photo!

@petewalkden it was not that long ago that a person could go years without seeing a stunning image. I see dozens every day now.
@petewalkden lovely to see sunshine thru his fluff
@petewalkden @ColesStreetPothole I'd be remiss if I didn't send this to you LOL
@petewalkden we need red squirrels back in our land. They are so beautiful.
@petewalkden for a split second I thought this was Donald Tr*mp. But it’s much more beautiful than that.
