Nice profile view of this fellow. I do think the exposure is a little too bright. I would pull it down a bit. Also, if you have more room for him to look into on the right, I think it would improve the image.

What a beautiful animal Nishand. It might be best to remove the bright red article in the lower left corner. Jerry has also offered valuable comments for this one.

I like the cropped version, Nishand. However, if you have the original image, and there is room on the right, you might want to recompose this and position the marmot further to the left of the frame.

Good commentary already...I would add that ideally one would find a bit of angle or lighting to allow for a reflected catch light in the orb of the eye.
