 This guy came to check me out when I accidentally bumped his tree while he was asleep...I didn't even know he was there!

I already commented on this, but for some reason it didn't take.
Anyway, I like this very much because it appears to be in it's natural habitat. I'm surprised to see it during the day, since I thought they are nocturnal.
I'm sorry you couldn't include the entire tail. Perhaps if you'd have held the camera vertically instead. Oh well, still nice!

Framing and focus both highlights the subject yet shows the environment where it lives.

Nice shot. Too bad you had to cut off its tail.

Looks almost too well fed to fly. I like the pic, but would rather see the critter's tail than so much water with reflections. (I've always wanted to see onew of those animals. Errr, um fauna. good exposure, sharp focus.

Wow that's a really great shot. I really like the positioning of the squirrel, tree, and background! 8!
