I love this shot! The depth of field is so narrow that only his eyes are in focus! I think it looks magical...

Epic shot Brad! I love the shadowing around the eyes, almost makes it look like a raccoon

It kinda has some sort of optical illusion presence to it. The one that moves, despite being a still image

Congrats for making a "meh" animal into mesmerizing

I normally don't really give a damn about meerkats (they stink!). But I really like this shot. It's cool how the similar colour fills the entire frame of the shot. Nice work!

I don't either. I hardly give a damn about half the animals I shoot, but...
Thank you so much!

But hey, as long as other people like them, right? Just like me, I don't care much for peacocks or other birds and a bunch of stuff I shoot too.

You're welcome.

Who would know that I don't care for lions that much?

Exactly, I honestly had no idea. Personally, I find lions to be pretty boring. Tigers and leopards are where its at.

I love cheetahs, leopards, and tigers... and you deliver!

I appreciate that. Speaking of cheetahs, one of the cubs thought they could run right though the glass at the Toronto Zoo. Poor little thing.

They ended up having to paint the glass with some frosted look to it so they don't do it again.
