Nice detail with the critter John, unfortunately it looks like ( large version) that you had to do a severe crop and there is alot of distracting noise. That's a battle I'm all too familar with using glass with not enough reach.

John, the larger image does a lot for this scene. Good detail on the chipmunk and great dof choice. I would lighten the scene overall, looks a bit dark to me. Thanks for sharing!

I like the low pov you chose John. I also like the pose and the nice slanting rock perch. Good composition.

Great POV and you've caught a cute pose of the little guy John.
I like the mottled colors of the BG :wavey:

The eye level point of view works well. I like the colors in the capture, yet I think this will pop out more if a little brighter.
