Oh my goodness ! This is sooo cute! Look at those cheeks! The chipmunk is adorable and you have captured it with perfection LeeAnn!
Spot on focus, this image is so sharp and clear that I feel like I could reach in and touch it. Exposure is perfect, colors and tones are natural view! .
You have brought out every detail and texture of this little cutie and I love the composition ! Very well presented! This truly was a pleasure to view!
Very best wishes to you in this contest!

Here's the deal Lee Ann, how about this?... I will contact the contest committee and advise them to tell all the other contestants to pull their entries for another occasion because I just reviewed the winner!

I think the preceding sums up what I think about this fabulous, magnificent, whimsical, touchingly beautiful piece of photographic art.

Good luck... Bob

Great pose. He was looking at you. Great vantage point. I like the contrasting colors of its fur against the bark of the tree. A showcase of texture, too. The portrait orientation framed your furry subject well. Best of luck in this contest.

Hi LeeAnn, I love your cheeky little friend! Very cute and according to you very curious too! LOL LOve the way he's looking at you! Guess he wanted to make sure you were using the right settings on your camera. You have great focus and lighting, but the real star of this image is your subject! Just had to give you six stars! :o) Nancy

The first time I saw a chipmunk was on a holiday to the Rocky Mountains in Canada, and I thought they were so cute. Just like the one in your photo. I like so much the way it is posing for you, and how the bark is framing it. The light is falling on the animal in such a lovely way.

The chipmunk is standing out sharp and well defined against the background, and it is clear and well defined details to be seen in every part of the animal. The exposure is just spot on.

The tall format is perfect, and the chipmunk has got a fine placement off to the left. This of course makes for a good and well balanced composition. Indeed a sweet and well taken photo Lee Ann, and with an excellent DOF. I wish you luck with the contest.

This is a beautiful shot of a very alert chipmunk. You have timed and framed it well. The focus, clarity, light, and composition have worked well. Good luck!
