lol I bet he's got the comfiest little varmit home ever. I love his little tummy and how he's perched there.

I don't see anything too technically wrong with this photo. Shots like these are just what they are; funny. I don't think you'll score all that well, mainly because this just isn't what they're looking for in a photo winner. You will however make hundreds of people laugh. I thank you for the laugh.

=)

Very cute!

I would have considered cropping in a lot tighter when producing the final image - there are a lot of other elements competing for attention other than the squirrel is this wonderful image.

While the picture is very cute, I personally don't think that it really applies to the silky and smooth category. But I really do love the picture!

I have the exact same problem!!!! although, silky-smooth doesn't come to mind when I think of my patio furniture being destroyed. none-the-less, the photo is technically nice!
