The out-of-focus foreground is a major problem and there is too much background. A guideline for animal shots by the way is get the eyes and make sure that they are significantly bright. Good effort, but a really difficult shot to get perfect.

Thanks for looking it over Ronnoco. I actually chose this composition on purpose with the blurred foreground. I wanted a different approach to shooting these common city animals. These squirrels are almost as common as crows and pigeons around here.
But if it doesn't work....it just don't work telling by the huge response this picture has
Personaly I like it. it holds my interest. Using elements to "block" the subject can add mystery to a shot and is used all the time by cinematographers. very hard in the field to get this exactly right, but having the squirrel appear larger in the shot in relation to the foreground / background would help a lot. this effect can be achieved by using a longer lens. the other thing i would have tried (assuming our critter is behaving) would be to frame with grass or branches just above and below (still allowing them to obstruct the main subject)
