Took this shot during a trip to Boston. Went to an internet cafe. Paid $10 to have a CDR cut from a CF card. Then paid $0.40 a minute to edit the shot, and I'm now paying $0.20 a minute to write this and upload!

Fence in the back is a bit distracting, maybe a shallower DOF. Also the tail seems more in focus than the eyes. Exposure is great, especially in the presence of snow. Overall, good job!
The exposure on the squirrel is spot on. The snow is a little bright. Where is his cheeseburger? You just expect him to eat fries? This is a cute shot, but I'm not really sold on it being a great photo for this challenge. If he were in a tree, eating curly fries, then I think I'd be more apt to vote it higher. Really, its a good shot of the squirrel. I'm just not keen on the environment you shot him in.
Lovely detail in the paws and tail - you can feel the sharpness and softness. Looks like he moved his head a bit, it isn't as clear. Maybe a crop from the top and the left would bring the composition together more.
such a great squirrel shot - i struggel to get them this good. Only bad point is the wire in the background. I guess that is why you titled it urban. 7
