Cute little guy and a very nice photo. A little bit of sharpening around the head would bring this to the next level.

Good one Chris. Like the rock and ferns to go with the chippie. His expression is a little tentative..

Thanks EJ for pointing out the softness in the head. I gave it another minor shot of USM and I think it helps.

ROFL! The look on this guy's face suggests he's had a really tough day. The log and fern complement the chipmunk very well. Composition is wonderful.

This is wonderful Chris!! The expression is a classic and to put it politely he looks a little 'miffed'!!

The composition and detail in the subject and the log with lichen is superb. Excellent shot!!
