Great timing, lovely light on the head and brilliant detail. On my screen I can't see the eye, otherwise I would have given it 10. Will 9 do?

Sorry, but this doesn't convey perspective to me.

But I like the minimalist feel to the picture.

I like the composition and the negative space, just think you went a little overboard and would have liked to see just a little bit more of the squirrel and tree it´s on, like double the amount that is visible now, then I would have loved the composition. 6 from me.

Challenge brief: - Use perspective to create a dramatic effect with your photograph.
Perspective - The appearance of things relative to one another as determined by their distance from the viewer.

For a discussion on perspective check out this article or this one, or for something a bit heavier check out this one.

Meets Challenge: 1/1
Lighting: 1/2
Focus: 1/2
Creativity: 2/2
Aesthetics: 2/3

I like this photo. The lighting is a little flat, and the focus could have been sharper. But the photo is fantastic. I love the placement and composition. Would have received 3 in aesthetics if the backround was a little more contrasty with the subject, but that's more of the environment you were shooting in, so probably nothing you could have changed.

Comment by heathen:
well, ok, I appreciate what you're going for here...however, we're talking about a shot here with 90-95% negative space...that's just too much...at the very least you probably should have put him/her on the upper left third

Sorry but there is just too much empty space here for me.
