Hi John -- Love the vertical comp here with the squirrel leaning toward the water with the tail up. Sharpness looks pretty good for 1/125. I would tone down the HL a bit, especially on the ferns in the left and top left of the frame. The squirrel also looks a tad yellow, but I am not sure if this is a natural tone in their fur, as they vary quite a bit from one squirrel to another, and you were there.

Points adjusted. They do vary a lot in colour according to time of year.
(Plus a bit of afternoon sun can be yellowish)
Cheers

A cracking image John. I think the environment, especially with ferns you can have a natural cast. The branch above the tail looks like there is a bit cloning and there is something odd to the right of the tail near the top. Correct these and picture perfect for me.

[Mark Needham]

RP looks better, but careful with repeated patterns from cloning in places (e.g., stump above the subject). I think a luminosity mask followed by darkening would have been better (more targeted) than cloning / changing larger areas of pixels.
