You were correct. Here is an updated photo. I took care of the log and played with exposure using curves. First attempt with a darker BG I didn't like. I then lightened the BG and I think I got a much better photo. I can see a litlle of the color cast you are talking about, but on my monitor and the print I see none.

Like the exposure changes, agree. But I'm a big fan of not all shots have to be animal portraits absolutely. I've got no problem with the original's amount of log -- some great texture and lines there (maybe a darkening of that would pop the wee squirrel a bit further, as well). Nice capture. These guys are thick where I live and I enjoy their scoldings as I walk by :)

I agree about the squirrel. On my screen it is darker. Not a lot, but enough to make a small difference.
