Nice, nice... cute squirrel!

I think a tighter crop would benefit the picture.

I see what you mean, I will play with the original again tomorrow and see what it looks like, this was also playing around with the orton effect I think its called which changed the whole look

You are correct, it is called Orton. Cant wait to see the tighter crop as I think it will really enhance this lil guy. He looks like is challenging you to get out of his space!
