I took this picture of a Prairie Dog as it just reminded me of a person praying and looking for selvation.
Please could you give me your views and c&c.

I'd risk upping the exposure a bit. I know the top of the head will then be over-cooked, but it's the side of the face that matters, and the eye particularly.

I would perhaps sharpen slightly less, too.

But it's a nice picture, and will appeal to the anthropomorphically- inclined.

Great image. Agree with George that a bit of selective exposure on this side of the head would improve it.

Thanks for the advice George, I will give it a shot and see how it works out.
Oh and on a sad note, I had to look up to see what anthropomorphically meant...
