A cute critter picture. Looks like you got the plane of sharpest focus fight on his eyes. Wish the leaf weren't hiding part of his face.

Cute picture, but the eye looks a little soft to me.

Hi Neven,

Cute subject! I like how the chipmunk is "hiding" in the litter (and your title helps support this element of the image). I think there may be a tad too much foreground "clutter" here - if the image were mine I'd experiment with cropping out some of that foreground to "clean up" the image a little.

Cheers...and thanks for sharing this...

Brad

Cool perspective. It seems the focus zone is a little in front of his face, which is too bad. Notice the crisp focus on the leaves near the lower left side... Your use of surroundings to create a balanced composition feels just right.

Nice, intimate look at the door to this guys house. Wish for a clear shot of the nose but it doesn't soundlike he was in the mood to pose for you.
