Hello Pete, I don't know if it's my works monitor but there looks to be something out with the processing on this one. Perhaps a bit over saturated?
As Dawn said, a good pose but as for composition I think a bit more space above the tale and a smidge taken off the LHS would give a more sympathetic comp to the squirrels stance.

I agree with Robert about the crop. In this case the animal is looking directly at you, and a slightly more central position within the frame would therefore work well.

Nothing wrong with the saturation on my laptop, great image

Hello Peter.
Lovely capture of the squirrel and I like the pose.
I think I might just de-sat the bright geen area top right a little.

I agree a central composition would work better here. I also think it would be worth desaturating the whole image a little. He looks like a bit a cross with a red.
