whether or not it's about weather, it's still a great shot. I wish I could have gotten such a good shot for the fauna challenge. I've added this to my favorites. Great job.
Thanks! I realize it would've been more appropriate for the fauna challenge. (Well, how was I to know that would've been the topic for this week?)Anyway as an explanation, I don't think I would've been able to get this relaxed shot were it not for the heat in Texas. It was running away from me all the time, but was hot one afternoon and didn't feel like moving because it was obviously tired from the heat. The challenge guidelines said something about the effects of climate on the environment, and this is the environment! Jitams

This is an incredible photo of a squirrel. And the title makes you understand his expression - whew, it's hot!! The poor little guy is just plain old tuckered out!! The detail you have achieved on this squirrel is excellent, and I like the DOF!!!
Technically perfect! Doesn't fit to the topic too well (even with the title), but I must admit that I would have submitted this picture too if I would have made it.
Wow, excellent composition, a very candid/relax shot of an animal, the image is so beautiful and its perfect for the current challenge. Please go back and re-shoot this animal and submit it for the current challenge.
I feel you knew this was a great photo and just titled it to try and fit the challenge. A weather photo should speak for itself. This doesn`t say weather to me.
This shot would have done very well in the fauna challenge!! Even a ribbon winner for sure, but that's life huh? Anyway it is an excellent image, well cropped and the shallow DOF does wonders for it.
Hey! This is a great shot of the squirrel. This would be so much better in the animal challenge. Although the title says there's heat, I don't really think this applies to the weather challenge. He's so cute!! You would definately of won the animal challenge with this
While I really like this picture, I don't think it fits the challenge well. You should have showed us more about the heat. Therefore I will have to subtract a few points, which is hard to do as the photo itself is near perfect :(.
This would be a great photo for coming DPChallenge, Fauna. I love it and wonder how you were able to get so close to subject!! Squirrels in my yard are too energitic.
I think this is a great picture however, if it were not for the title I would not have made any connection whatsoever to the current challenge. I don't think a photo’s legitimacy, as a challenge entry should be based upon the title, just my two cents. Full technical marks for the shot, but the weather aspect if too much of a stretch.
Cute little critter. This is a good photograph (nice use of DOF, diffused lighting, nice highlights in the eyes, composition) but I don't feel it meets the weather challenge. I try to judge the merits of a photograph itself. If I need the title to tie the submission to the challenge, then I don't feel the submission qualifies for the challenge topic, which is the case here.
This is one shot that should have been saved for the fauna challenge. It's such a cute and well done photo. You are really stretching by trying to fit this picture into this challenge. I would have voted a 10 had it been in the fauna challenge. That's how good this one is. DOF is great and the expression on the squirrel's face is priceless.
Not much of anything to do with weather all you did was add a title...if I did not know any better I would have thought this picture was for next week...you get a 1
Fabulouos photo! I love the colors of the squirrel, the blurred background, the texture of the wood. The clarity of the face is excellent. I give your photo a 9.
Squirrels don't usually stay around long enough for a photo. Is he on the tame side?
Hehe. Fabulous entry for this week's challenge! Despite title (I don't like it when the title has to explain a shot's relevance entirely), I can't see this as a weather shot as the challenge is stated. Hope you can get another one for this week!
