"Photographer: Tim Nicol, Republic, Ferry County.  Photo taken: Oct. 22, in his garden.  Photographer's description: ""A chipmunk in the late afternoon sunlight in my garden in Republic. Taken with a Nikon D7100 and a Tamron 150-600mm lens.""  Katie's critique: ""I love the simplicity of this photo highlighted by the beautiful autumn light. The lens used creates a super-clean background because of the shallow depth of field that allows us to not get distracted by the background and focus on the adorable moment. Great photograph!"""
