A marmot it is! Good capture of one too.

This looks like a marmot to me, but I would need someone from the mountains to verify. Good focus and clarity, wish you had all of his tail.

Good pose and great expression on her face!! It's hard to find people who look truly happy to get their picture taken :-) Or maybe that's just my friends ;-) Seriously though, you have the feel of this one down. As the others say, it could be a tad less soft, but facial expression, lighting, etc all look good IMO.

Have to agree with srdanz on this one. Fantastic composition and pose but a little too soft for this type of shot.

Comment by kevrobertson:
This is a nice composed shot, however the skin tones look like they have a little too much magenta.
No matter, still a nice shot
Hope this is of some help.

Beautiful Photo, the only thing I can think of that would've improved this so much, is a shallower DOF to blur out the background and bring the attention more on your subject .

Comment by srdanz:
It looked promising as a thumbnail, but I got dissapointed with the lack of sharpness on this one. I am not against soft-focus photos, but this one does not look appealing to me. It came across as OOF at first sight and I could not bring myself to love it as a soft image.
Perhaps if you dodge the whites of the eyes a bit it may help bring them out more and reduce the (to me negative) effect of softness.

Comment by srdanz:
Deep DOF works well here. Since it is black&white, the background is not distracting and adds to the composition. As a suggestion to get rid of the undesirable blown highlights (which is the main drawback of this photo), I would recommend using some fill-flash so that you can reduce the shutterspeed and get more detail out of the sky in the background.

Edit to add: the hearts on her neck are flipped. A minor thing, I know, but as they are present in the photo, they should be right.
