Ringtail Lemur.
Had a very pleasant day at Whipsnade today (apart from the cost, £61.50 for 3 people!!!!)
Liked this chap, very "thoughful" he was.

Great shot Dawn.
It's nice and sharp and I like the composition & depth of focus.
Admission does seem a bit high though.

Thanks Phil. Bit too expensive to go a few times I think, particularly in the present climate, you could get 3 chinese/Indian take-aways for that!!

Oh WoW! he has an intense expression, wonder what he was thinking about?
Beautiful image Dawn, and the fur is so "real " looking, you could reach out and touch him

Many thanks all. Whipsnade is a lovely place, you never feel crowded, and more importantly there was no evidence of pacing or boredom by the animals there.

Lovely photo of the lemur. As you say, deep in thought. I like the way you have applied some fundamental rules of photography into your image. for example, great control of DOF, rule of 3rds, emplacement and the lemur looking into the frame; they go to show just how effective a picture can be if applied. Good job.
