I've liked to start in the middle of people's scoring to find the pictures that have promise, but let us down. This is a good example where you could possibly use a trick I've learned. I think what is letting the picture down is the crop. You are in a middle ground which hurts. Either we want more space on the sides to provide context (or even negative space) or you want to crop it so that the branches actually leave the canvas. This provides more dynamics to the composition. Finally I would have increased the f-stop to allow for a deeper DOF. Having the right side OOF does not help the picture.

Talk about an alert pose! Guess he better be, given the end of the food chain he's on. Very well seen and captured.

I'd have either cropped in a bit tighter or backed off to have even more "dead" space but still very nice.

I did get the bit about brownies being invisible, and it's a great landscape, but I was divided between rewarding a very creative shoehorn and the fact that is was, well, an obvious shoehorn. I gave it a politically neutral 5.
