Ken that is enchanting. It's about as anthropomorphic as it gets. The centre lemur seems determined not to let the other two interrupt his meditation.

Really interesting image. Good composition, detail, color, and shot at just the right moment so I can really feel the movement.
I couldn't help but think of kids playing out a Kung Fu movie they just saw.

Cute one Ken, seeing this really makes me wanna go back to Mada! I wonder why you choose to crop and not keep the 2:3 ratio; not that I regard this as a nit

Thanks everybody for your comments which are much appreciated.
Going back to the RAW file the crop was largely determined by the need to eliminate some of the distracting BG

Really engaging shot, Ken! Why do you say 'it was difficult'?
