This is nice. The catchlight in the chipmunk's eye almost looks like excitement at seeing the nut. I also like the contrast of the yellow flowers with the green BG.

This is an unusual combination of subjects. I like the effect. My only thought for tweaking is that the saturation seems a little strong on my monitor. I like his extension and the catchlight in his eye.

Bob, this is a stellar image, maybe the best chipmunk I remember seeing posted in this gallery. The flowers make this! And that all through glass, with flash!? :toast:
