 An outtake from Wildlife IV. The mean ol' big black squirrel was stealing nuts from the little red squirrel's stash, outraging him. Shortly after, though, the black one left and I got the shot that became my PB.

live action wildlife shots are sure hard to get - and you have captured a nice story - but the image seems a bit overexposed throughout
