Last day of school holidays today, so took my daughter to Taronga Zoo in Sydney. This was with my Tamron 200 f3.5 & OM adaptor.

Weird looking creature.

Nice one!

Steve, it's a great shot of a Meerkat in the characteristic pose of the species; taken in a zoo but not obviiously so. I'd like to see a little more headroom, though. And darkening the diagonal white line across the tip of the nose will help draw more attention to the eyes, which could be selectively sharpened. They appear a little outside the field of sharp focus.

Where is Nathan Lane when you need him?

Lovely color and great detail. I would select the eyes and try to brighten them a little, especially the right eye. I agree with Rob smith that selectively sharpening them would bring them out more too.
