It's amazing how the fur has almost the exact same texture and color as the bark of the tree. Excellent picture BTW. :)

Great luck catching this little guy. Well centered. The biggest area for improvement is the way the squirrel blends into the tree. And yes, I know you can't fix that particular problem. :) Possibly a different angle on the shot, with a colored background (leaves, water something?) Also great use of a shallow DOF, with the critter sharply focused and the background blurred out.

a little fill-flash would hav both scared the heck out of this guy, and brightened him up. tough call. A little dodging and burning would help increase the contrast and bring out some features. great focus and sharpness. well done.

Looks far too oversharpened. Interesting lighting and textures though.

Something bugs me, not sure what though. Maybe oversharpened? I don't know. 5.

once too often sharpened . I go back and forth as to wether the similarity between the fur and bark are a good thing.
