A black tailed Prairie Dog (actually a relative of the squirrel) in San Francisco Zoo. Even though there was dozens of them running around, this close crop and that stare gives a feeling of isolation - even though it's lying with it's head on another's back...

I'm not really getting the feeling of loneliness or solitude from this image, actually he looks content and sleepy to me! The colors seem a bit flat/dull too, but that could be the light hitting the fur. I like the details of the face, and the subject itself is interesting. It doesn't seem to bring across the feelings of the challenge for me is all. 5
Nice close up, but whilst the creature may be the only one in the shot, doesnt portray a sense of loneliness. Unless I suppose you consider it's expression. OK, in that way, yes, it does. Well done :)
