Pleasing pose here John. The stump perch adds some additional interest without being intrusive. The light is a bit contrasty, but a bit of shadow adjustment would remedy this I think. I'm glad to see folks paying some attention to the rodents in our wildlife forum.

Hi John, I like the inquisitive pose and being on the log adds interest to the scene.
The light does look harsh but the shadows don't look clogged, but you could try just lifting the shadows a fraction. I would also reduce both the red & blue evident in parts of the whites & tip of the tale. More sharpening on the face would help too. Finally, saving the file with an sRGB profile rather than an untagged one will help display the image better too.
It's nice to see diversity as animals like this can be just as impactful as some more larger and exotic ones.

Agree with the preceding critiques. I also would suggest improving details and white areas.
