•  Support -- Charles (talk) 18:51, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Comment I guess the squirrel is smiling because he heard the joke said by Jubilee, or was it by Munin? :) Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 19:00, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Support - Great portrait. Did you feed him the nut he's eating? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:11, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

• Yes, I put out some bird food (which is why I call it a set-up), which the squirrels steal anyway. I found it was the only way to get a mouth-open shot. If you put a nut out, he/she grabs it and runs away. Charles (talk) 19:57, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

•  weak support, because you manipulate it --Habitator terrae (talk) 20:35, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

• Please Habitator terrae, enter the code {{s|weak support}} but not {{weak support}} because the bot doesn't understand this last template here. I've fixed it for you -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:55, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry to spoil the party but ... his eye. You don't really see it in thumb but when full screen then the white grid on the eye just keeps grabbing your attention. I guess it is your conservatory forming the catchlight. I keep thinking the poor squirrel has an eye defect. I don't know if you can do any photoshop magic or try again from another angle. It is a shame because otherwise it is good. -- Colin (talk) 07:53, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

• I thought about changing the catchlight of my conservatory, but it is so clear I decided to keep it as the setting is not pretending to be in the wild (though the squirrel is wild!) Charles (talk) 08:26, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
