Great composition, and I love the background.
The light could be a tad better, but still well done.

Nice one, tough light situation handled very well. Like the smooth background but habitat detail in foreground...

Very nice. I presume the BG is the canyon wall ? It really helps to make the little guy stand out.

That background is wonderful!

It's hard to be sure in that light, but it looks like a golden mantled ground squirrel to me, and not a chipmunk...

Paul, you are most likely 100% right. Sorry for the wrong ID. I don't know those animals very well yet.

Thanks

I really like this image - it's a unique view that's presented very well.

Actually this is a Golden-manteled Ground Squirrel not a chipmunk - a chipmunk would have stripes across his face. Its a funny shot with the title.

Oops, I now see that Paul already caught the ID mistake.
