Hi Dave, congrats on this unique catch. Love the pose with the raised body and tail. Cropping looks okay to me. Good job on the exposure. I think I can just barely tell the affect of the crop in this image in terms of sharpness of the squirrel but I think it is still plenty sharp enough to create a pleasing image.
