 Ok, lots of tweaking went into this one (although still all legal in advanced editing). Countless soft light layers, minor cloning, dodge and burn, etc. Maybe a bit too edited in the end, but hey, I like it. The light was going totally in the wrong direction, but he was so cute and posing so nicely :)

I have some better lemur shots than this, but sadly they were all taken in July (and I never got around to submitting one due to fantastically slow internet connections in Madagascar... You can see some of them here). Still, I think this guy's pretty cute. Lemurs rock :)

He certainly knows how to pose - and no photographer could ignore that, it's almost as though he's saying 'me, me; photograph me'! You've taken a good one here, despite the light being against you.

Looks quite caught in the middle of something! Those eyes follow me no matter where I am in the room. :)

Wow - what a cute little guy this is! You must have taken this photo on your trip to Madagascar? I love the background. It compliments him nicely :-)

This guy is adorable. I love his little hands. You did a good job on this, considering the light was working against you.

He is indeed adorable and I don't think you overdid the processing. Just the right touch in my opinion!

Nice shot - Like the tones - The composition is a little boring and the animal looks a little soft and grainy in the focus.
