Cute capture however appears to be oversharpened.

The squirrel is very noisy in comparison to the rest of the photo. Too much sharpening perhaps?

Since I am lacking in technical skills, I cannot give helpful comments. I am strictly a photo buff who is trying to improve, but as to telling you what is wrong or right, I am in no position to say. I am simply voting based on whether I like the picture or not. Sorry, maybe someday I will be able to give helpful advice
