The subject is cute, the comp good, the bg is great, you've managed to capture catchlight, it is an eye-level shot....Would have preferred a larger photo, though.

This is a very intersting image for me as I have no idea what it is, but it certainly is cute. The position is great, and it looks to ne enjoying soaking up the rays

Hey Verdon,

Must be yellow-bellied marmot week! Besides being cute (which it definitely is), what I like about this shot is that it accurately portrays what marmots spend most of their time doing - laying around! I like the overall colour scheme here as well. I'm not sure the more square (than original capture) crop here really suits the subject matter - if this were mine I'd probably go back to 3:2 by losing a LITTLE of the background off the top. But that's completely a subjective, personal preference thing...

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Brad

Very nice - I imagine this pose evolved by having avian predators!
