Very good image, but I seem to be distracted by the branch thats behind him, I find myself looking at it.The Meerkat is positioned perfect in the overall balance of the photo,the lighting is excellent and the exposure is spot on. Maybe if you included the whole branch ???Or cropped a little from the top down?
I actually prefer the original crop and would have asked if the full curve of the branch was possible to include. But sure, I’m no wildlife expert but I’m just back from the camera club – Chris Weston giving a talk on wildlife photography and now i want to take one of his workshops in Africa next year :D
I like the crop to be honest now im drawn in by the Meerkat. Everyone has their own oppinion on photos, but it is all down to whatever the Author/Photogrpaher likes.If it was mine and I like the original,then I would leave it.
