		<description>It was certainly considerate of him not to block Melissa and Jackson in the background...although I&#039;m sure he was not thinking of them in the first place as his curiosity got the best of him. 

It&#039;s the cutest photo! Thank you for the laugh!</description>

		<description>Totally real. You can see what a photoshopped one looks like with your own picture and it is not as good as this REAL picture!

Go to this to get your own squirrel!

		<description>It&#039;s really funny that people think this is fake. What a bunch of party-pooping conspiracy theorists!

Anyway, just wanted to say that this picture made me laugh a lot. Love it. I have a very similar photo where my cat popped into frame at the last second. I&#039;ll have to pass that around and collect annoying know-it-all comments as well.

Way to go, Melissa and Jackson!</description>

		<description>That is about as fake as they come.  Nice try, but hopefully the public will not be fooled by this; it is a photoshopped picture and its clear.</description>

		<description>I just noticed something else ... notice that the couple is sitting to one side ... obviously so there would be room for the stuffed squirrel to be in the center.</description>

		<description>This is an obvious fake. Notice that the squirrel is in perfect focus but the couple and background are not in focus. When the button is pressed the camera will lock in the focus. It should have focused on the background. Once the finger is lifted and the squirrel jumps in, the squirrel should be out of focus but it is not. So the &quot;squirrel&quot; (more likely a stuffed squirrel) was planted before the button was pressed.</description>

		<description>Melissa did mention that her husband had a remote and was clicking away at it after the timer snapped. Logically, this priceless beauty was one of these remote controlled shots. After the remote click, the camera auto adjust the focus and snap. It would be nice if Melissa could post all of the pictures including the blurry ones at Flickr. It would be cool to see the pictures before and after this timess classic. Thank you Melissa for sharing this moment with the world. Our best regards to you and Jackson.</description>

		<description>Love it, but yes, of course it is fake.  Keep in mind that even the top DSLRs don&#039;t autofocus after you set the timer.  The squirrel is in perfect focus yet the people are blurred out, meaning the focus was on the squirrel when they hit the timer.  If you want to get more technical, on a bright sunny day like this even a crappy camera would default to a high F stop which gives you nearly infinite focus meaning both the squirrel and people would be in focus....which would be far less dramatic.  The comments about the tame squirrels in this area are completely true, and only lend to the fact that they saw a tame squirrel, got a close up of it and photoshopped it in.  If this site would let me attach photos you would see how that same squirrel appears to be in my office right now!  Nonetheless, still a great photoshopped image that makes me smile.</description>

		<description>Shanghai, Kevin, Bill G. and Timm (aka wet blankets),
      Give me a break! There is no doubt in my mind that this photo is real. I live in Calgary, not far from Banff, and the ground squirrels (some call them gophers) there are the most curious, almost tame creatures you could imagine. Totally credible, totally real!</description>

		<description>This is fake. You have all been fooled. This same picture is showing up as people&#039;s profile shots with the same squirrel in the foreground, doing the same pose, with different backgrounds.</description>

		<description>The photo has to be real. The camera is autofocusing on the critter and not the couple (as was mentioned). The perspective and lighting are absolutely consistant, and those whiskers are just too perfect to have been dropped in.

Most of all, you can easily imagine the little guy being curious about the the camera&#039;s delayed shutter countdown beep.</description>

		<description>This is not a real picture...why would you set up a self-timer so that a portion of where you were sitting was blocking you? Nice picture, but I believe it is photoshopped or something, not real.</description>

		<description>I lived near Banff in the 60&#039;s, the squirrel&#039;s or chipmunks were very tame, ate right out of your hand, I still have my photo of it. This is a very big tourist place and the wildlife has grown up with people about all the time!</description>

		<description>From the facial expression of the squirrel, it looks more like the squirrel actually is using the opportunity to declare war with humans, though it had mistaken the still camera as a video camera.</description>
