Meerkat

Common as muck shot these days but managed to get him to look at me by making a noise like a worm

All that fur makes it hard to show the sharpness of detail on a monitor but enough there to see it ok I guess. I struggled to get the meerkat standing out from its surroundings but again am reasonably happy with the result. See what you think.

Cheers,
Rob

Re: Meerkat

Great portrait, nice bokeh and colour (quite a film-like saturation going on there), diagonal above head distracts a little, not not too much

Re: Meerkat

Great capture Rob, as the others have said nice saturation too.

To though in my obligatory 'but' - its a shame about the car track tyre mark at the little chap's side.

Re: Meerkat

Yup, I know what you mean Steve, I did think about cloning some grass over that. Actually, it's not a tyre track, it's a type of matting that they embed in the earth to stop the soil on their mounds and things being eroded too much by rain etc.

Cheers,
Rob
