Photographers Comment

Thanks a lot for selecting this photo as the winning image. My name is Henrik Spranz and I'm living in Austria. For this shot I've used a Canon 5d Mk iii and a Canon 400/2.8 L IS. I didn't retouch or manipulate anything in this photo and was very happy to get it this way. The European ground squirrels are an endangered species which are even already extinct in many European countries like Germany. I've shot this photo in Austria.
