A squirrel sitting on a fencepost, overlooking the fields and hedges beyond. The tame little thing came right up to the house before climbing out onto the fence, which made for a perfect photo op - shame it didn't look my way! The bokeh of this lens is just beautiful - pity I couldn't enter something like this in the Bokeh challenge!
Taken with the Canon 70-200 IS (mmm...) and the Canon 1.4x tele, through the glass of a window (which didn't distort in this shot, which was good). The original was cropped, a lot of levels adjustments, focus tweaked, and double bordered.

Love the shallow DOF. And even though the squirrel has his back to you, you can still see his eye. (a major grievance of mine is when you can't see the eyes of the person or animal) So big plus for you. Love the colors in the background too. Makes the picture very interesting. My only nit might be a wish for a tad more sharpness around the eye. Good luck in the challenge!
