I do think this photo should be in the 5.8-6 range, a little above my predicted score. I think the subject photographed well but the dof could be a lot better.

I've enjoyed all these comments and critiques. Thanks.
This was mostly a grab shot while getting in a mile walk at the park. I agree that the background is too busy, better dof would've helped.
That green does almost go neon! :-)
Probably a tad over sharpened too however I have noticed that it does not look as over sharpened on my laptop, PC, or iphone. It does look over sharp on the iPad. This seems to be because of the iPad not being able to fit the image to the screen. Is there a way to get the iPad to do that? At this point the score is a little above my prediction.

Oh, this was the first crop. For some reason I thought it placed the squirrel too close to the right frame. Changed it at the last moment, a bad decision because cutting off the tail is pretty much a no-no.

I agree.

Cute and alert and oh so sharp. I do want the rest of the tail :( Gave it a six. Guessing it will score quite a bit higher than your estimate but not quite my score. 5.8

Perky creature maybe a bit overprocessed. Maybe a bit better 5.35

Standing tall. My guess 5.6

Good closeup portrait of a squirrel. IQ is good but not top notch...perhaps oversharpened a bit, and the greens look a bit unnatural. I'd say you still underrated your own photo...I'd guess around 5.75.

very cute 5.7

Very nice ;-)))) I give you a 6 for the Beautifull colors and Sharpeness
  Photographer found comment helpful.

For me, this image is a good one, but one notch below the best images in the challenge. I expect it to do about 5.8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 12:20:43 AM
You again?! 5.3
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 04:58:07 PM
I gave it a five. Guessing a 5.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 02:30:29 PM
I think this might do a bit better than 5.2 but it looks a bit over sharpened to me. The blue light that seems to be reflected is curious. I do like the sprouting greenery . More like 5.7 I think.

Your guess seems right to me. 5.2
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Cute and nice pose. Background is somewhat busy. 5.789
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/06/2015 04:46:58 AM
I'm guessing 5.45 bc he's standing up!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/06/2015 04:36:52 AM
hehe, what a bold guy! Too bad that his tail is not complete - 5 from me and I predict 5.56
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 11:57:52 PM
Squirrel self portrait? with those long fingers he'd have no problem with the shutter button. Great shot, I like the colour on this and how sharp it is. the expression is priceless this might end up at 5.6 or higher, seven from me, good Luck

After looking at this for a minute or two, I feel like he is wanting me to feed him. Guess you succeeded in your mission. 5.48

5.43

Godzilla :) A little oversaturated 5.3
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 09:37:01 AM
I can see where the guess might come from, and I am going to be one of your 6's. Yes the background is a bit boring and doesn't really help your subject pop. But the color and detail on the squirrel is really fabulous I think.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 11:47:05 PM
Wicked detail. 6.13
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 10:37:06 PM
I voted before looking at titles, now commenting.

I bet you are close. Cute subject, but the sharpening is a bit harsh to try to make up for softness.

My guess: 5.23
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 09:30:58 PM
I think you've got the score right.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 09:24:12 PM
He is saying hello!!! I miss my pet squirrel... I am guessing a 5 but some may drop lower it due to the tail being chopped off.. voted 5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 07:10:44 PM
5.2365 (I gave it a six)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 04:26:14 PM
5.2 probably right

the saturation got too high IMO
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 01:02:28 PM
In my experience, squirrels don't get the scores they deserve! =D
Predict 5.37
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 11:23:05 AM
5 Nice detail, but in general it needs a more interesting setting and more tail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 09:42:56 AM
Technically very good. I predict 5.9.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 04:39:22 AM
What a cute little fella! A little over sharpened for my liking. I estimate 5.4
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 05:50:24 PM
Hello, I voted a few days ago, now returning for comments. I think that you estimated your score well, I gave you a six but I predict that you will finish at 5,3974
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 04:54:05 PM
bit of motion blur, and the composition is cluttered and distracting. 5.325
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 02:19:23 PM
I think this is at least 6.32 but I gave it a 9 for cuteness!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 01:08:49 PM
Hey squirrrel I can see your nuts. :)
I like this shot, I like the detail but I really have no idea how something like this will score in the end.
I'm gonna guess 5.55.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/30/2015 07:46:11 PM
Looks a little over-sharpened and I wish the entire tail was in the frame.
