If you could have got the front claws in (ie. not cut off) I think it would have been better. The haunch and tail being cropped doesn't bother me though.
Having said all that, I do like the challenge in the squirrel's expression in the second. I feel a closer crop would benefit that picture (feels a bit lopsided at the moment, and the space to either side doesn't seem entirely necessary).
Lovely clear captures :-)

Thanks for the info on the tail. Now that you mention it, I definitely agree with you. I think it's interesting food for thought that you didn't like the claws being cut off, but the haunch/tail being cut of is ok. Also, thanks for mentioning the part about giving him space to look into and run into. It's something I recently relearned and I'm trying to make it subconscious without, at the same time, making it so second-nature that I never break the rule.
