John, nice image of the little guy—good eye contact and pose. The tone is overly warm on my monitor.

Thanks Philip, I have gone back and worked on the RAW version and re-posted it. Just didn't recognize how warm the image was.

Hi John, I like the stuffed cheeks :smile: . The first image is way too warm indeed and the repost is more realistic. Yet personally I think that could be a little warmer though, but that is all a matter of taste.

It looks like it has stuffed the whole lunch in its cheeks :wink:
Tells a bit on behavior doesn't it. I like that.
The pose on the rock is perfect. You nailed that.
The background is quite busy (especially on the warm version). I think I would try to tone it done a bit if possible
