An excellent shot - a bit low in contrast - a little bit of levels and curves could really take this one to the next level.

You guys have been coming up with some wonderful shots of these little guys!
I agree with EJ on the contrast, but still, wonderful shot! 8)

I like the other's suggestions but wanted to add that the darker foliage really adds a lot for me. Very nice!

Angle of the light is super. The autumn colors of the tundra is great. Nice image.

Great shot of the tundra colors and love the subject. Wish for a little more light on the side of the face showing..

Just a touch of lightening with curves should take this over the top.

Tim -- Very nice shot. I like the warm sidelight and the foliage colors all throughout this image, and how you've positioned the animal well to look into the entire frame. I see the really nice clump of red foliage in the lower left and wonder if their were other compositions available which could have taken more advantage of it.
