Excellent shot. Positive and negative space collide.

I elected to use a rating table to decide on what value to assign during voting.
Here’s the table:
1 No Animal/People Interaction
2 Slightly Appealing, but no Animal/People Interaction
3 Moderately Appealing, but on Animal/People Interaction
4 Greatly Appealing, but no Animal/People interaction
5 Not Appealing, but possessing Animal/People Interaction
6 Slightly Appealing and possessing Animal/People Interaction
7 Moderately Appealing and possessing Animal/People Interaction
8 Greatly Appealing and possessing Animal People Interaction
9 Better than #8, and caused an audible sigh
10 Better than #9, and would likely declare it a favorite

The composition seems a bit rough, but this is wonderful! way too neat. The motion of the popcorn (?) dropping, the way the squirrel is half hidden, everything is so intriguing. Like we're catching a glimpse of the animal/human intereaction, just enough to catch our attention, but no more.

Cute and humourous. I like the backlighting on the tail. The obvious diagonal angle of the squirrel matches the height of the acorn. Reminds me of a German story about two naughty boys called Max und Moritz. Well shot!

Like the creativity. It's not an "in your face" pic. Nice subtle image of the interaction. I also like the "diagonal" placement of the the hand in the upper left and the tail in the lower right. I would hope this is a top ten.

Brilliant capture and gutsy entry. Bumping up.

I love the shot! Clever and funny. One recommendation--the tree is very dark and takes up so much of the photo, it would be nice to get some of the detail back in the tree. I brought it into photoshop (elements) and just did a shadows/highlights on it and lightened the shadows, and I thought the effect was interesting.

Feel free to ignore this--it was just such a great concept and photo that I had to play with it. -8-

Cute!!! Love the implied rest of the critter and the nifty backlighting on the tail. Very fun shot!

I see the potential interaction but this isn't working for me, too much tree, I'd like to see the squirrel's head.
