No comments always sucks.

Very cute image with a great idea of the two critters so points for bringing a smile to my lips. While it is obvious that some effort into this it does not quite work as a realistic composite. The upper squirrels pose and lighting just looks pasted as opposed to real. The lower squirrel is much better and blends into the grasses well. DOF is also an issue, which is common in doing miniature effects, like you can see in a lot old movies. Hopefully you try again in another extended challenge.

A supremely skillful presentation. Familiar, but rarely done this precisely or this attractively.

Congratulations on your ribbon. I have to say when I first viewed it I thought it was one of my images that I’d taken in the past, but then I realised it was slightly different.
