I don't usually use PhotoShop, but this was the result of using the Auto white balance setting in the simple version of Adobe Camera Raw included with Elements 10, followed by a few tweaks of the sliders:

My order was placed on eBay on the 11th of February - £9.99 including post from Hong Kong - and it arrived this morning. It fits securely and is working perfectly:

Nice shots but the greens and yellows surrounding the squirrels are too intense and distracting, so both images benefit by toning those down. However, a slight increase in local contrast of the fur enhances the animals. Lightening the shadows in the third photo, plus a boost in contrast, gives it a bit more pop. Just some different opinions, of course.

I don't agree either - it does look better when the verticals are corrected. The problem is that rotating the image loses the man's foot completely. However, that can be avoided if it is straightened by distorting the rectangle.
