Nice subject. You can captured a nice moment. I like the composition and sharpness of the image. I like the low angle of the shot. You may reduce the colour temperature as it looks artificially warmed up with more of yellow. Thanks for sharing.
The contrast is very high, probably due to the light you had at the moment. The interaction is precious and so is the flowered background. I'd left more room at the bottom to anchor the scene. Congratulations!
Along with most others, I presume that this is a "first sighting". I think the colour in both posts is not natural , this must be called the "Yellow" Ground Squirrel for a reason. There are unfortunately few images on the net to compare it too.
Great interaction of a species I've not seen before. Looks very much like our prairie dogs of the western US.. May be some post processing issues here.. fine image
