Caught in the act

GRAY SQUIRREL, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 24, 2010

Pentax K20D
SMC Pentax-F* 300mm f4.5 ED (IF)
1/180 sec. f4.5
ISO 1600

Looks guilty as hell, doesn't he? No sooner did I fill the "squirrel-proof" feeder on our backyard deck and return to the house did this young ruffian arrive. He at least had the decency to pose prettily while I trained my favorite lens, aperture set wide open and ISO high against the gray overcast, on him. The depth of field is shallow but the whiskers are sharp.
