What a fantastic composition! I laughed for ten minutes over this one, poor dumb little guy. I love how your focus draws attention to the subject. His soon to be flat ears are so cute, with the small hairs perfectly in sharp focus. I could see this as a poster in my classroom, with a saying like "Please pay attention". Very well done!

Zack, I loved reading about this image in your blog and am so glad he was, at least while you were there, just fine. Great series of images.

Isn't that a kid's game? This is better than those Geico squirrels, or whatever Auto insurance company they were working for. Funny where wild creatures sometimes take up residence.

This is awesome Zack. The shallow DOF works very well here. Nice blog as well. I enjoyed reading more about this crazy Marmot.
