This is a nice composition and it represents the theme of serendipity. I like the soft muted purples and greens in the background in contrast to the rough, grey texture of the squirrel's fur and the tree bark.

This is a wow! You have a wonderful "Where You Live" subject. Composition nice - mountains at the top terrific.

Yeah, guide-book photography for sure. I guess in that sense you meet the challenge absolutely. And yet I can't help but be influnenced by the shots I've seen previous to this - those are the perils of being voted on in this manner. Somehow, that foreground golf course is an invidious element. nature tamed. the shot sets out to propose a life on the edge of the wilderness (that wonderful haze across the feet of the mountains, and the cragginess of them, and the bleakness of the show and sharp promontories there), and yet the hugely boring and suburban manicuring of a golf-course alonside it seems here to provide only a comment on man's inability to leave well alone, these days. Perhaps that is only the modern connotations of golf, child of the television that it is, and far removed from the battle against the elements that were its foundations ... but it certainly undermines the suggestion of loneliness of this scene at first view.

Very pretty scene. I wish it was a little bit sharper and clearer.
