Took this picture yesterday while walking in the woods with my dog. He wouldn't be nice and let me see all of him (maybe he doesn't like dogs), but he did let me see what he had in his mouth. All C & C are welcome and appreciated!

I like the way he seems to be peeking round the tree trunk, perhaps checking to see if you're planning to steal his nut.

This is a great shot and your timing for catching it seems to be perfect.

If it were my photo I would completely clone out all the leaves and the branch in the right of the shot. While I understand that they are adding to the context of the shot I think that is already clear enough and giving the little chap free space on the right would open up the shot while also focusing your attention on the main subject. The other benefit comes if you ever want to see the image, most publishing houses and magazines want some area to add a little text and giving them free space on the shot makes it a very attractive image to perspective buyers.

Hope that helps

Lovely capture
