Love this shot! Great placement of your feasting subject within the frame, nice poise captured as well as appealing shallow depth of field with its smoothed out blends of color to frame. Love the lighting, the reflective catch in the eye as well as the palette of natural tones to drink in.

Great T&T, story elements, lighting, and composition ~ lovingly done. I think all your critters know and trust you ~ and definitely know where their bread is buttered! Great shot and good luck with the contest! Bev

This is a very good close up of the squirrel. You even got a reflection in his eye. The fur is quite detailed and clear. Focus is very good. Framing is well done.
