What a fun shot, Dave. “Hurry up, bud, I want to sharpen my teeth too!” Maybe blur or clone the right side BG a bit to make the upper squirrel’s head more visible? And do those greenish patches on their fur really exist (like on sloths)? No matter, this is a very entertaining look at the two mischief-makers!

A very fun image, Dave. I’m not sure I get the feeling of heat from this, but it does look like a very sunny day. Mike mentioned greenish patches on the squirrels. The color feels a bit off to me, but I’m viewing it on a laptop as my desktop is in the shop.
