I do enjoy photographing squirrels, both tree and ground types. Caught this one at the nature center.

I like how the near branches frame the subject, but it is a little unfortunate that there are others in the more oof zone beyond that lessen that impact. I see one tiny hot spot on the cheek that you might try to salvage if you captured this in raw. Good eye contact and near eye level perspective.

I'm with you on squirrel photography, John! Love these little guys. We have way more photo opps of ground squirrels than their forest cousins I'm afraid, and I've never really gotten a bushytail to cooperate enough for me to be happy with the results.
I like the light and warm colours here, and the inquisitive little look its giving you with the classic tail position. Beyond the hot spot on the cheek that Lon mentioned, there are some unfortunate artifacts in the LRC that need attended to from masking or cloning.
