nice composition. To me it seems you've lost some Highlights, Maybe a selective curve adjustment could help.

Cheers,Luca

Sweet light. It really makes the squirrel stand out from the background. Very nice image.

Cute looking squirrel, nice perch and a pleasing background.

The whites on the belly being blown is noticeable, but it doesn't really bother me.

Hi Phil, the 'Reds' always get my vote. Nice eye contact, colour looks good, however the light does look a little harsh, but the whites are just there, but not blown. Personally I would have bumped up the ISO to give yourself better shutter speed.

It's the perch Phil that doesn't sit right for me, is that branch drilled into the trunk, it just looks out of character?

Interesting background treatment! I like the warm light. The brightest highlights seem a little hot on my monitor, but some selective post processing should help modify them.
