Great shot of a chubby little guy. The lighting and details are great...his coarse fur, glint in his eye, and scars (?) like he's been in a few squabbles. lol Nice one.

Even though he looks to be well fed, perhaps he is praying for something to eat. Nicely composed shot, Raj.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
"Saying ..please let the visitors throw me some nice food"!!!lol
Good catch on this one RAj

Some creative food for thought, Raj.. and.. a homework assignment..
"In Prayer" - Cropped/Shadow/Highlights Adjustment/Clone Stamp Tool
The Shadow/Highlights Adjustment comes via philcUK's tutorial; Faking the HDR thing....
Which deepens the colours/contrast some.. depending on the degree with which you apply the edits.
Clone Stamp.. your homework assignment. ;o)
I did the right-hand side around the burrow (and quickly).. did not do the right-hand side. Just to illustrate the impact of removing or mitigating the over-exposed grass/material that was at the top of the burrow.
Crop?
Six of one, half dozen of another.
My own personal take?
Eyes on the prize, more so. And with the clarity and focus you achieved.. the eyes of the prairie dog as still enough of a draw to not let the body overwhelm the image.
... ...
... ...
I used to post long posts.. still do, but.. I used to, as well.
Lucky you?
Nice shot, sincerely. I like the appearance of the natural environment and that this does not look like it was 'snapped at a zoo'.
Colours are vibrant.
Thanks for sharing this one with us.

He/she may be praying for fame and fortune on the world wide web...and perhaps will receive it with this very cute pose and good capture.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.
Raj, are you sure that it's praying and not begging? lol.
Perfect timing for pushing the 'fire-button' on your camera!

Praying for the visitors to throw goodies to him would be my guess! LOL. Very nice shot, Raj. Love the sunshine and colors of the shot. Excellent clarity, too.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
You captured the moment perfectly, Raj. Love the focus & detail on the cute prairie dog. Excellent!

I LOVE LABS!!!
He's so cute - I'm sure he's praying for some peace and quiet after all it's quiet on the prairie!

ALWAYS VIEW FULL SCREEN...SO MUCH MORE BEAUTY!
How sweet and does look like he's praying, probably wanting something tasty to eat. Wonderful detail and lighting, really like all the shimmer in his eyes and look at those powerful back feet
