Taken at Rocky Mountain NP. I was at a lake to "shoot" ducks but these guys were just too cute to pass up.

All comments greatly appreciated. Thanks

Very nice. I like how you included just enough of the rock to balance the composition.

Sweet image Alan and well composed. I also like the way his tail follows the line of the rock he is sitting on.

Nice one!

Nice shot Alan and I like the pines in the background. Good pose and just enough head turn back to make a tighter composition succesful. The whites are right up to the edge, but this probably is the scanning from film and the original is likely to be perfect. Thanks for posting Alan, I enjoy your work.

Alan,

Very well done and the lines of the rock and the tail make a good combo for the eye to follow.

Alan,
I really like this one, as was said by others like how the rock angles through the frame, and also like that the background is just clear enough to suggest a pine or evergreen, but blurred enough so as not to distract from the squirel.
Very well done.
