FIRST PLACE: Beginning of Spring, End of my Birdfeeder

Viewer comments: "Unique, funny, good composition, and not an easy shot to catch! Good way of getting the theme." "Great up close pic, good "portrait-like" focus. Really a cute little squirrel too!" "I'm a sucker for animal shots. I think without the title, I wouldn't have necessarily made the connection, but the title + the quality of the image (nice and clear) makes this one a solid choice for me. Plus, whoever photographed this got the catch light in the squirrel's eye which is the goal of any wildlife photographer. Bravo!"
