So cool to see photos of these interesting mammals.

Nice colour and pose on this one, in some sweet light.

Nice low angle, lighting and eye contact here Simon.  A tough animal to compose, I think this would have made a nice vertical as well. devil

Hi Simon,

This one brought a big smile to my face - just so cute! I think the framing you chose - especially your placement of the subject and its tail - works really well. Simple shot but quite effective. Nicely done.

Cheers...

Nice catchlight, I like how the lighting brings out the detail in the highlight areas, Simon.

I do wish there were a ltttle more headroom. The vertical, as suggested above, would help, but then the cropped tail becomes an issue. Nice the way it is.
