Here's another shot from our Pantanal tour in Brazil. I used some fill flash to soften the lighting as this was taken on a sunny day with a lot of contrast.

Nate,

I like the nice and natural usage of fill in flash, as well the pose of the subject.

I just wounder if it would have been possible to photograph from another position in order to get less of the right upper area in the picture included. I know, it is difficult and challenging under the described conditions enlightened

Hi Nate,

Great eye contact and that pink nose certainly draws one's eyes.

Hope more shots from your Pantanal tour keep coming!

Cheers...

Brad

Hi Nate,

The fill flash worked well. The BG is busy, but you were ablw to fuzz everything out pretty well at f5.........................Jim

The nose does attract the attention and the eye contact, catch light and detail keep the attention on the marmoset. The background is a bit busy and distracting, but sufficiently blurred to keep the eye on the subject.
