Too bad this is a bit grainy, and that the snow in the middle seems overexposed. Otherwise, good composition and great capture.

Very cute. I might have cropped him a bit tighter, as the snow doesn't really add much.

Well framed, for the size of the shot. The aspect ratio is a little strange it seems to me any way. But its a pretty nice job, especially with the framing of it.

focus is a little off and there is some grain. Cute groundhog, and I like his island of earth in the snow. Good idea and composition, but has some technical errors. -7

I love prairie dog. I think that is what it is. Anyway, he's cute and love the glistening snow.

Pretty small animal but a bit of a stretch of the theme which I think the Greeks observed as the elements of the universe before the arrival of living things.
