Good looking ground hog Jeff, I like the pose and space given, tree frames the image well !! Might run a noise reduction over the bg to smooth things out a bit I like how you raised the ISO for a good shutter speed !!! ... btw might take a little of the top !!! Excellent !!!
I like the comp here and the furball makes a nice subject not posted often. Agree on the nr on the bg and might suggest some selective sharpening on the ground hog. TFS
