Without the reflection this is a nice portrait of a chipmunk drinking, but with the reflection it is a IMHO outstanding photo of a chipmunk drinking. Just goes to show even a common creature can be photographed in a new and uncommon way! Thanks for sharing.

A very cool and unique image Verdon.The super low angle and of course the 'circle' make this a striking one! Great work.

The reflection really makes the shot. I like the full circle appearance.

Hey Verdon,

Low angle plus reflection make this a very pleasing shot. The "circle" is very unique and eye-catching. Great as posted, but I'm thinking a little selective exposure increase on the front end of the squirrel (shoulders forward) would make it even better.

Cheers..thanks for sharing this...

That is just the best! Absolutely tack sharp. Love the reflection completing the circle. Perfectly executed. How long did you have to wait for that shot?

This is exceptional - great use of the abstract shape formed by the reflection
