What a cute little guy! A very nice shot of the chipmunk, with very good focus , clarity and exposure. He does seem to be smiling at his new found treat. Nice one.

A great shot of the Chipmunk! The nice sharp focus bring us right into this photo with good lighting and clarity. Your central composition is strong. Very well photographed with good lighting, sharp focus, and good details. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!

I like the tone and texture here.
The little guy really struck a nice pose for you. The color in the snack is a nice contrast to the rest of the photo.
Well done.
Sharon

Thank you! He did seem to give me a big smile :)

Comment from Linda Wetzel
This little guy seems to be saying, "Yummy!" The red snack is a nice spot of color against his beige and brown coat and the brown textures of the rocky soil behind him. His signature stripes create lovely interest on his face and back.

Oh my!! Perfect photo of special subject. My parents had two chipmunks like this while I was growing up named Chippy and Munk. The cage was pretty big and they had a grand old time! Daphne Oberon

You are very welcome! Monk got out at a place in the desert where my mother was staying, so he went wild but remained tame. He dug himself a hole in the ground and she would bring him food. Eventually, as she did not stay there more than about six months, he must have figured out how to get along on his own eating tiny wild plumb seeds... Daphne Oberon

This is so cute....he looks like he is smiling. Great catch....they can be hard to find just sitting still and dart off fast! Love the little touch of color with the nut. Great catch light in his eye.

Comment from karen zima
What strikes me with this image is that it is all in brown tones and yet there is that one red tinted nut in his paws. He is framed nicely on the rocky surface. Your eyes keep going back to the nut in his hand. Very nice to view image.
