I like everything about this image; the composition, colors, pose of the squirrel, the catchlight and the effect used. I like the overall soft feel to the image. Well done.
Very well done, Dave. Love the low angle, and excellent PB application. I also like how the BG is blurred except just around the fringe of the hole. Nice work!
Great processing, though I think a bit more detail in the fore and background would make it even better.
The squirrel is really well done, not too painted and a more realistic setting would work better for me.
