Hey maaaan!

Snowflakes melting on the whiskers.

No cropping, thus the focusing point is in the very center. View large on black
Did levels brightening, noise reduction, resize, sharpen, little bit more saturation. Had told camera to use (contrast, sharpness, saturation +1) parameters and JPEG.

Does this squirrel have wings? I'm sure I saw them blurred in the background there as he's hovering in front of your camera!

Nice capture :)
