Great environmental image, Simon! I love these ringtails, they are so active and the tails are such a nice feature. The round orange eyes make this image for me. :toast:

The exposure looks good for this lighting and you chose an aperture that managed good depth of field, enabling both subjects to be in focus. I am sure you wanted to avoid chopping the extended tail, but to my eye they needed to give you a slightly different pose so you would not have had to include so much on the left or to have the near subject facing that direction. All beyond your control, I know, but one can wish! Thanks for sharing these endangered mammals.

Neat shot of this pair, I like their relative positions and the way you've managed both tails :cool:
Well done Simon :wavey:
