Description
I guess it's finally time to add a shot with the new set up. This is a Meerkat from Marwell zoo shot with the Nikon D90 and 300mm F4.0 lens. I really am amazed with this lens. It's incredible!Many people know I love bokeh... this is just amazing with it. It's so sharp too!

Meerkat! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="26" height="17" alt="
To start of, I think you've done a great job photographing this subject. I have never photographed wild animals, but I enjoy looking at some of them.
You knew how to position yourself in order to get the best of the lighting. Because of that, the details in the fur and the eyes are really well shown.
Aside from that, the subject is separated by the background by using the long lens and the choice of the aperture is good, too.
I guess that your signature distracts me, but that's a personal choice, and I understand that.
One thing I would add, it's not utterly important; I would have opted for a brighter background around the left part of the face, where there's more darkness, so that the subject could be differentiated more.e.deviantart.net/emoticons/t/t… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Thank you so much for the critique!
Yeah. I don't like signatures either, but with dA being the place it is it's needed unfortunately
I'll look into the tip about the background. Thank you!

I could swear I'd already commented on this piece... Maybe it was over MSN?
Anyway, I love this piece Lawrie. The composition is wonderful, and the background works perfectly.
