Wonderful sense of scale and disorientation here. At first glance I thought this was a rock wall....then I noticed the tree. Very well seen and captured!

Lovely photo, although you've lost detail in the shadows. What was black and is now sepia toned, appear more like inkblobs (lower right tree line for example). Somewhat oversharpened also, which makes the foreground grass have speckles and the tree branch intruding on the middle far right is especially prominent as to being excessively sharpened. Based on what I'm seeing in regards to post-processing this photo may have been a strong candidate for some lightly applied HDR to handle the various ranges of light/dark.

In a way, it's a shame that I've commented so much on the processing. The setting is beautiful and the light looks to have been pretty interesting overall. Would love to see the original on this.

If this hadn't been overly processed in regards to noise reduction I think it could have held up well in this competition.

Very evident processing in blurring out the background.

A little bit heavy on the noise reduction IMO. Lost a lot of detail. This is nearly painterly now.

Of all the squirrel shots, I like this better than most. Nice, vivid color. Good luck.

I would have titled it differently, but it works very well for this challenge. Nice shot!

:-) The perspective on this makes her look like a giant kid - WAY bigger than that little garage door back there.
